THEIR fans came in expectation of witnessing English football history from the greatest team of the modern era.
Manchester City duly delivered, winning a record fourth straight title, something which proved beyond Liverpool's great team of the 1980s and Sir Alex Ferguson's dominant Manchester United sides over two decades.
Pep Guardiola's peerless side have now won six of the last seven titles and once again underlined their crushing superiority by holding off the challenge of Arsenal to retain their crown.
As thousands of City supporters invaded the pitch at the end, Guardiola and his players headed for the sanctuary of the tunnel before being presented with the trophy they have come to view as their own.
The atmosphere pre-kick off was one of celebration, with no sense of anxiety among fans who have become accustomed to their team racking up silverware in recent times.
With Manchester bathed in sunshine and the temperature hitting 25C, fans arrived in full-on party mood, inflatable bananas and beach balls among the props brought along to celebrate another title success.
