This is the second time that City have won the double, having also done so in 2019.

Arsenal and Man United are the only other clubs to have done the double on more than one occasion.

City's focus will now turn to completing a famous treble.

If City beat Inter Milan next Saturday then they will become only the second team to win the Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League in the same season.

Man United were the first in 1999.
