    As Letter’s said above and you don’t get teams like Lyon, PSG, Bayern and Juventus winning the title 5, 6, 7 times in a row. You’re lucky a team defends it the following year. Man Utd and Chelsea are the only ones to do that since the PL began I think.

    The difference with City is that they are good enough to beat anyone on their day, they beat small teams and they beat the big teams. Not by huge margins but by enough to win the points. The reason why the EPL is considered competitive is because they do sometimes lose. The reason the other "big" teams were so far behind is that they lost even to teams that they shouldn't lose against on paper. City didn't do that much. They beat everyone they should beat and more than held their own against everyone else. Either through superiority of players, or manager or squad.

    In Italy its a shock whenever Juve lose to anyone, same with Bayern. Thats why those leagues are horrid. la Liga is a 2 horse race, that's why Atletico deserve team of the year anytime they dont come 3rd.
