Manchester City overtake Chelsea as England’s fourth most successful club

Manchester City have overtaken Chelsea as England’s fourth most successful team following their Champions League win.

City secured their first ever major European title with a 1-0 victory over Inter Milan on Saturday night as Pep Guardiola earned his third victory in the competition.

In doing so they completed the treble, having won the Premier League and FA Cup earlier on this season.

They became just the second team to do so, after rivals Manchester United in 1999, and moved up the list of the country’s most successful clubs with the win in Istanbul.

City now have 26 major trophies to their name, overtaking the Blues’ 25, and they are now hot on the heels of Arsenal, who have 31.

The club were short on trophies before they were taken over in 2008, and success began to come thick and fast.
