Three managers prevented Pep from winning the English Premier League title.
After Manchester City overtook Arsenal to take the top spot by winning 1-0 away at Burnley, both teams had 70 points and identical goal difference of +37, but the 'Sky Blues' had scored more goals: 66 compared to Arsenal's 63.
Over nine years under Pep Guardiola's management, Manchester City has won the Premier League six times, with only three occasions where they missed out on the title to three managers from two major clubs.
In the 2016-17 season, Antonio Conte led Chelsea to the championship while Manchester City finished third.
In 2019-20, Jürgen Klopp brought Liverpool their first league title in 30 years, finishing nine points ahead of Manchester City, who were runners-up.
In the 2024-25 season, Arne Slot led Liverpool to the title in his first year managing the team, with Manchester City finishing third, 33 points behind, and Arsenal as runners-up that year.
