Nobody has done it before, it’s an unbelievable season. It’s the hunger inside me. We’ve got great players, we want to win more next season.' <br/><br/>Meanwhile, Norwegian talisman Haaland said: 'It’s been lovely, this club is amazing, I’m so proud of everyone. <br/><br/>'There have been many good moments. When we knew we were gonna win the league, that was the best one. The support we get home and away is unbelievable.' <br/><br/>Even Guardiola got on the microphone on the day, as he said: 'We are (happy). It's a big achievement, that’s why we are here again.<br/><br/>'Not even myself could expect to stay eight years. Everything goes well. It (winning) looks like a routine but it is not a routine. We will be back. Next season we will take the FA Cup'.<br/><br/>As well as their Premier League title, City also showed off their Club World Cup title and their UEFA Super Cup title - which were claimed earlier in the campaign.<br/><br/>Many had expected City to also claim the FA Cup title however, on Saturday afternoon, they were beaten 2-1 by rivals Man United in the final at Wembley.")
