Manchester City marked their Premier League title triumph with a 1-0 victory over Chelsea at the Etihad Stadium. The win came after Pep Guardiola's side secured their fifth title in six seasons when Arsenal lost 1-0 to Nottingham Forest. Following the title celebration, Guardiola made nine changes to the lineup compared to their previous match against Real Madrid. Despite resting Erling Haaland, Julian Alvarez scored the decisive goal for City in the 12th minute. Kalvin Phillips, who made his first Premier League start for City, came close to doubling the lead but hit the post. Alvarez thought he had a brace, but his goal was disallowed due to a handball by Riyad Mahrez. The defeat leaves Chelsea with a disappointing season and highlights their lack of scoring efficiency under different managers. City now focus on the FA Cup and Champions League finals against Manchester United and Inter Milan, respectively, as they aim for a historic treble.
