After an enthralling season, 2012 sees the crowning of Manchester City as Premier League winners. Roberto Mancini's men have been on top form all season, and their victory over QPR at the Etihad stadium on Sunday 13 May secured the title.
The Barclays Premier League is the club's first league title since winning the old Division One back in 1968 under the guidance of Joe Mercer and Malcolm Allison. Manchester City's outstanding achievement for the 2011-12 season carried on from where their FA Cup triumph left off last season.
Man City stats
Man City's stats have been enviable this year to say the least. Manchester City has played 38 matches this season, winning 28 of them, finishing five in a draw and losing only five. Practically unbeatable at home, the team trounced opponents in 17 out of 18 matches held at the Etihad Stadium. The remaining match ended in a tie.
In fact, Manchester City's domination of English football this year has been a statistician's dream. With a wins ratio of 73 per cent and a goals per match average of 2.43, the team's stats showcase what a finely tuned winning machine it is.
The squad's phenomenal performances this year were underscored by its run of 14 consecutive victories and its clean sheet percentage of 46 per cent.
Congratulations to Manchester City, winners of the Premier League
As the team's title sponsors, we at Etihad would like to congratulate Manchester City on becoming Barclays Premier League winners. We hope Manchester City continues its winning ways next season in the Premier League, Champions League and the FA Cup.
