Live Cricket BPL reports that Manchester City have been utterly dominant this season, clinching the Premier League title with five games to spare. Pep Guardiola’s squad is not only celebrating early, but they are also on pace to break the all-time Premier League points record. In stark contrast, José Mourinho’s Manchester United have been left in the shadows, trailing City by 13 points despite playing one more game.

In a rare moment of humility, Mourinho acknowledged the uphill battle. “Many teams have had a positive season—us, Spurs, Liverpool—but winning the title against this Manchester City side was impossible. They’ve been phenomenal and consistent. They will finish with a massive points tally, making it unrealistic for anyone else to dream of the title,” he said in an interview.

Live Cricket BPL notes that City could end the season with over 100 points, a historic milestone that would eclipse the 95-point record Mourinho set himself in the 2004–05 season with Chelsea. Back then, his Chelsea squad left no room for challengers—just as City have done this year. “In 2005, we gave no one else a chance,” Mourinho recalled. “That’s exactly what City are doing now. Even against Bournemouth, when it looked like they’d drop points, they found a way to win in the dying seconds.”

In reality, City’s dramatic winner came in the 97th minute, not the 145th as Mourinho humorously exaggerated. “They’ve been scoring in stoppage time, they’ve been winning the tight games,” he added. “They’re a truly great team. No doubt they deserve to be champions.”

Live Cricket BPL also highlighted Mourinho’s comments on Alexis Sánchez, who has underperformed since joining United in the January transfer window. Mourinho defended the Chilean star, saying, “I’m not disappointed in Sánchez. I’ve never been a big fan of the January window, but that was an opportunity we couldn’t pass up. If we didn’t sign him then, it would never have happened. I didn’t expect him to hit top form immediately, but we all know his quality. I’m sure next season he’ll be the Sánchez everyone remembers.”

As Mourinho looks ahead, the gap between City and the rest remains daunting. Live Cricket BPL suggests that unless something dramatic changes, the Premier League title may stay out of reach for United and their manager for another season.
