In the past few years Manchester City has emerged as the one of the strongest football teams the game has ever seen. They are so powerful a side that even drawing a game seams a challenge against them, forget about winning. They have won six Premier League Titles in the last seven seasons. Hence one can figure out their dominance in English Football. However, the previous season was below their usual standards because they only won a League Title. Mind you this is their below par performance. They failed to defend their UCL Title and faced a defeat in the final of the FA Cup against Manchester United.
However, this time they have started their season right. In the Community Shield Final they came from behind and silenced their neighbor. At one time it appeared that they are going to lose the game as the Red Devils were leading 1-0. But, in the 89th minute of the game Bernardo Silva scored the equalizer and the match went into the penalties. Eventually the Men in Blue won the game 7-6 in the penalty shoot out and lifted the Community Shield in a packed Wembley Stadium.
The Season has got off to a great start. Will they win a Quadruple this Year? The Answer lies in the womb of time. However, for the time being everything feels good for the defending champions.
