Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed, Vice President, Deputy Prime Minister and Chairman of the Presidential Court, received Manchester City officials on Thursday after the club won a historic fourth consecutive Premier League title.
A 3-1 win in their final game of the 2023/24 season allowed City to finish two points ahead of Arsenal, despite trailing the Gunners for most of the campaign.
Pep Guardiola's side narrowly missed out on becoming the first back-to-back Premier League and FA Cup winners, losing the FA Cup final to crosstown rivals Manchester United.
Despite that disappointment, City still enjoyed a stellar season in which they also won the Uefa Super Cup and the Fifa Club World Cup for the first time.
Guardiola was part of the City delegation in Abu Dhabi. Club chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak and chief executive Ferran Soriano also met Sheikh Mansour.
During the meeting at Qasr Al Watan, the City officials presented City's titles to Sheikh Mansour. They expressed their appreciation for his support of the club’s board of directors, coaches and players.
Sheikh Mansour commended the efforts of the players and emphasised that City’s title wins serve as motivation for the club to continue its progress. Members of the Manchester City Football Schools, which comprise about 3,000 trainees, also participated in the trophy presentation.
