Guardiola’s 23/34 Manchester City side is nowhere near one of his finest sides. It shows how difficult it is to compete against Pep. You have to be practically perfect to best this Man City side to the title.

1. Can we just deep this for a sec? some pep and man city appreciation for all of you. also the barcelona season where pep won la liga with 87 points was the 2008-09 season.

2. That 22-23 team did pretty well. Not sure this is the best metric to determine squad strength, since it doesn’t account for the opponent’s quality.

3. This is great. It does show how our recent squad has not been as strong as our squad when Pep first arrived. One of these years Arsenal is going to pip us.

4. 45543? Barcelona longevity unmatched

5. I think the centurions season might be the most underrated/undervalued in the minds of fans compared to some of our other incredible seasons.

   People really don’t give enough credit about how insanely difficult is it is to only drop 14 points in a 38 game season.

6. I recognize Football Made Simple
