MOSCOW, May 21. Manchester City defender Kyle Walker stated that the team's players dreamed of proving that everyone who doubted them was wrong.
On Saturday, Manchester City became the winner of the English Premier League ahead of schedule after London's Arsenal lost away to Nottingham Forest (0:1) in the match of the 37th round of the English Premier League.

“Maybe we'll celebrate the day after tomorrow, but we have a few more games ahead of us. I would love to win the championship tomorrow — I would go on the field and beat Chelsea. "Arsenal" pushed us to the limit, they were fantastically good, so all the credit for that goes to them. They had a few failures, and we took advantage of this, and we managed to get to where we are now. We have achieved a lot in the last five or six years, but we knew that at the beginning of the season the bar was not high enough. Things weren't going well enough. When we came back after the World Cup, we had to act honestly towards the guys — the game with Liverpool laid the foundation for it. We wanted to prove that everyone who doubted us was wrong,” Walker is quoted by the official website of Manchester City.

«Helping a club win a third Premier League title in a row is something very special. The league is without a doubt the most demanding and competitive in the world, so that literally says it all about what an achievement this is. This team is incredibly talented and special, and «Being captain this season was a huge honor. Winning the championship three times in a row and five times in six years is incredible. It was a season I will never forget,» said team captain Ilkay Gundogan.
Manchester City have won the national championship for the third time in a row and the ninth time in history. The team led by Josep Guardiola retains a chance for a treble (winning the championship, the National Cup and the Champions League in one season). City will face Manchester United in the FA Cup Final on June 3 in London at Wembley Stadium, and will face Inter Milan in the Champions League final on June 10 in Istanbul. The only English team that managed to make a treble was Manchester United in the 1998/99 season. Guardiola won the treble as head coach of the Spanish «Barcelona» in the 2008/09 season.
