Manchester City midfielder Fernandinho believes this current City side will be remembered in 100 years time for their record-breaking achievements.

Pep Guardiola’s side have been in formidable form this season, breaking a host of records en-route to winning the Premier League title with five games to spare.

Their league form included a highly impressive 18-match unbeaten run earlier in the campaign, which now sits alongside many other newly set records.

The form of individual players has also drawn praise from the football community including Kevin De Bruyne, Leroy Sane, Raheem Sterling and Sergio Aguero.

Fernandinho – who has been one of City’s understated stars this season – believes that this extremely talented Guardiola team will be remembered in the years to come, perhaps even a century later.

Speaking to reporters (via ESPN) Fernandinho said: “It’s a fact, we have a clear chance to break those records and we have to go for it. Otherwise it doesn’t make sense to play football anymore.

“We have three games and have the chance to break most of the records and we’re going to do that. It helps us to keep our performance and play the same way as we have all season.

“In 100 years it will be remembered that Manchester City in 2017-18 broke all those records and played amazing football.”

Alongside their league triumph, City also won the Carabao Cup back in February with a 3-0 thrashing of Arsene Wenger’s Arsenal side.

This Sunday, City host relegation-threatened Huddersfield Town at the Etihad Stadium, where a win for the Citizens would take their league total points up to 96, a new league record.

They have also scored 102 league goals, which means they are just two away from breaking the all-time scoring record in the Premier League.
