They said he’d struggle in English football.
He won the league with 100 points.
They said he couldn’t win it back to back.
He won the Domestic Quadruple.
They said he’d never win the European Cup, he’d never win 3 leagues in a row and he’d definitely never win the Treble.
He did all three in one season.
He then did the unthinkable and won 4 leagues in a row.
The greatest manager of all time.
The end of an era. The greatest to ever do it.
A manager who changed the entire landscape of English football and brought times to Manchester City we could never even dream about, and achievements that will never be replicated.
Thank you for everything, Pep.

Thank you for everything, @KevinDeBruyne! 💙
There’s no shame in admitting a mistake and offer Kevin De Bruyne a new 1-year-contract @ManCity. His influence in the dressing room, let alone on the pitch, remains of critical importance.
