With this win, the "Citizens" have narrowed the gap at the top to six points, and crucially, they have a game in hand. Pep Guardiola's side once again demonstrated their knack for a strong finish, consistently delivering an exceptional "sprint" in the final stretch of the championship.

When asked to comment on this recurring phenomenon, the Catalan coach offered an unexpected explanation, attributing his team's improved performance to... the sun.

"I'm not joking, I mean it," Guardiola emphatically stated, explaining that the appearance of sunshine in Manchester lifts the spirits and improves the psychological state of his players. He even added humorously: "In Manchester, we never see the sun. If we had sunshine from November, we would have secured the Premier League title by January."
