( Frank Augstein / The Associated Press )Manchester City won its second straight Premier League trophy on Sunday, finishing one point ahead of Liverpool in a thrilling title race and giving Guardiola eight league championships over 10 years in three countries. When Sheikh Mansour bought City, City’s only English championships, in a history stretching back to 1880, were won in 1937 and 1968. City finished first in 2012 under Roberto Mancini and ’14 led by Manuel Pellegrini, then under Guardiola became the first repeat champion in a decade. City remains on course for an English treble, having already collected a League Cup and preparing for the FA Cup final against Watford on Saturday.
