Foden Shines as City Extend Unbeaten Home Run
On Sunday, Phil Foden netted twice, leading Pep Guardiola’s team to a 3-1 victory over West Ham. This win extended their unbeaten streak at home to 44 matches across all competitions. „It’s hard to put into words what we’ve achieved,” Foden told BBC Sport after the game. „We’ve made history. No team has ever done this before. You can see what it means to the fans and to us. We’ve worked all year for this moment. It’s a special feeling to share this with the supporters.”
Guardiola Reflects on an Incredible Achievement
Pep Guardiola, whose contract with City runs until 2025, expressed his commitment to the club for the next season. In an emotional post-match speech, the manager couldn’t hide his pride. „Today is a day to celebrate. If someone had told me we would win the Premier League six times in seven years, I would have thought they were crazy,” Guardiola said. „But it’s happened. This is our era. We are part of it.”
Players Share Their Joy
The joy was palpable among the rest of the Manchester City squad as well. Kevin de Bruyne commented, „It’s just as amazing as the previous times. We’ve worked so hard for this. This year, it was a tough battle with Arsenal and Liverpool. Being here again, doing something historic, it’s incredible.”
Erling Haaland, quoted by BBC Sport, added, „After beating Spurs, we knew we could do it. I was sure of it. The margins are so small. We’ve beaten Liverpool by one point in two seasons and now Arsenal by two points. We were lucky to have that slight edge. This achievement is unbelievable. Four in a row. We are very, very proud and very happy.”
Bernardo Silva echoed these sentiments, highlighting the narrow victories that have defined their success. „It’s incredible to be here again. We’re extremely proud and happy. Four consecutive titles is an unbelievable accomplishment.”
