Manchester City pulled off a miraculous comeback against Aston Villa, trailing the game 2-0 before bouncing back to win 3-2 and secure their fourth Premier League title in the past five seasons. They finished the season just one point ahead of Liverpool for the trophy, and it's safe to say the roller coaster last game had everyone full of emotion in the waning moments. No one was more ecstatic than Man City boss Pep Guardiola, who was brought to tears with joy over winning another Premier League title, via NBC Sports.

Guardiola and his assistant coaches immediately began jumping around and embracing one another when the final whistle sounded. You can see the emotion on his face as he celebrates with his comrades, having achieved the incredible feat. Fans stormed the pitch to celebrate alongside the players and coaches.
It was an amazing moment for Manchester City, who fended off the second-half surge from Liverpool in order to defend their title and win their fourth in five years. While they won't be in the Champions League final after a disastrous defeat to Real Madrid, they've successfully prevented Liverpool from pulling off the quadruple of trophies by denying them a Premier League title.
Manchester City was dominant throughout the season, and their position atop the league, as winners of the trophy, is well deserved. Guardiola had this side firing offensively and defensively throughout the year, and even without a true striker atop the attack, Manchester City barely lost a step offensively. It was a well-earned title for the Pep Guardiola coached Citizens, who will be absolutely delighted to have seen the job through in comeback fashion.
