Man City captain Gundogan tribute to 'Pep and staff' as Prem title confirmed

Manchester City captain Ilkay Gundogan was full of pride after winning the Premier League title.

City were confirmed champions after Arsenal's defeat at Nottingham Forest.

Gundogan said: “To have helped the Club win a third straight Premier League title is something very special.

“The Premier League is without doubt the most demanding and competitive league in the world so that tells you everything about what an achievement this is.

“This squad is so talented and so special and to have been captain this season has been an enormous privilege.

“I would also like to thank Pep, all the backroom staff and everyone who works across this football club. Every single day they help provide us as players with everything we need in order to try to be successful.

“There is no way we could have won this title without all their support.

“To have won this trophy three times in a row and five times in six years is incredible. That quality and consistency helps sum up what Manchester City stand for and ensures the club will continue to strive for success going forward.

“It has been a season I will never forget."
