Only a win for City at Stamford Bridge
would have allowed them to hold on to the Premier League trophy for a little longer and their two-year reign is now officially over.

While City are still in the Champions League and continue their defence of the FA Cup at Newcastle on Sunday, their next act in the league will be as part of Liverpool's coronation when they welcome the Reds to Etihad Stadium next Thursday.
