MANCHESTER CITY STAR Kevin De Bruyne was unfazed by how his side officially clinched the Premier League title, insisting he had enjoyed the “whole journey”.
Manchester United’s shock defeat to West Brom handed City the title with five games remaining.
De Bruyne said he had enjoyed his team’s league campaign as a whole, a season during which they have scored 93 goals and lost just twice.
“I’ve enjoyed the whole season. Sometimes the journey is better than the end,” the Belgium international said.
“It’s a quick moment of enjoyment, when you look back it’s been a great season. The team’s been great, everybody has done their part, then you have to feel happy I think.
“It’s not always the end result. OK, it’s the most important, but in the end you live 250 days to enjoy an hour, maybe a few days.
“It fills you with happiness but we still need to enjoy the whole journey.”
De Bruyne said the way City officially claimed the title was unimportant, with their success confirmed after United’s surprise 1-0 loss to West Brom at Old Trafford.
“I don’t care, I just want to win the title,” he said.
“It doesn’t matter what way, obviously it maybe feels different when you’re on the pitch but in the end nobody will care about that. You just want to win the league.”

One of the best title wins in the PL era they made it look easy given the standard of the top 5. As someone recently pointed out,the team in second place has won titles with their current points standing. City aren’t been given the credit they deserve
@David Mc Nally: Man City now the greatest team of all time. When in reality, they were just better than everybody else and took advantage of it in most games. I can’t remember a poorer season in the league when the top 6 just rolled over. No fight from any of them except maybe Liverpool who gave it a go.
A bit of credit also to pep , he went out and bought the players and got them playing as a team , de bruyne has been brilliant ? Ok they slipped v pool and united , but showed character v Spurs . City are a team you would pay to watch ?
Best season ever by a PL team if they beat Chelseas total of 95pts in 2004-05.
4 wins and a draw from last 5 games and they finish on 100pts. Hope they do it now!
Ps.. 1st leg in Anfield should have finished 3-1 and 2nd leg should have been 2-0 up. 2 poor ref decisions cost them a possible treble.
Pps.. Happy for Liverpool to go through though!
