Pep Guardiola’s Man City side were crowned Premier League champions in the 2022-23 campaign after finishing five points clear of their nearest rivals Arsenal.
Man City then overcame arch-rivals Man United 2-1 in the FA Cup final, before sealing their first Champions League title with Rodri scoring the only goal in a 1-0 win over Inter Milan in the final in Istanbul.
The UEFA Super Cup followed in August with Man City beating Sevilla on penalties following a 1-1 draw.
Guardiola’s side then thrashed Brazilian side Fluminense 4-0 in December to win the FIFA Club World Cup in Saudi Arabia.
