2019–20 Manchester City F.C. season

The 2019–20 season was Manchester City's 118th season of competitive football, 91st season in the top division of English football and 23rd season in the Premier League since it was first created. In addition to the Premier League, the club is competing in the FA Cup, as holders of both competitions. They also entered the UEFA Champions League, hoping to win the team's first European trophy since 1970. The Citizens successfully retained the EFL Cup, their third consecutive EFL Cup win and their fifth in seven seasons.

The season covered the period from 1 July 2019 to 31 August 2020. The season was extended from 30 June 2020 for an indefinite period following the suspension of all elite sport in the UK in March 2020 as part of the response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Premier League initially suspended all competition until at least 4 April 2020 following a decision on 13 March 2020 after a number of players and other clubs staff became ill due to the coronavirus pandemic. This suspension was later extended further until 30 April and then to the 31 May 2020[1] At the same time the FA agreed to extend the season indefinitely, past the scheduled end date of 1 June. City's last fixture before lockdown had been their 0–2 away defeat to Manchester United on 8 March 2020. The scheduled home game on 11 March against Arsenal was the first Premier League game to be postponed following the news that the Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta had been tested positive for the novel coronavirus.

In late May 2020, the UK Government began to ease the lockdown measures which had been taken to combat the COVID-19 contagion and it was duly announced that the Premier League clubs had agreed to play the remaining 92 Premier League fixtures and FA Cup fixtures in empty stadiums and with modified rules to minimise contagion from 17 June 2020.[2] City restarted the season with a postponed game in hand against Arsenal on 17 June, winning 3–0. They went on to win seven out of nine remaining PL fixtures (including a 4–0 defeat of the champions Liverpool at the Etihad) to finish second in the league. The Citizens also beat Newcastle in the FA Cup to advance to the semifinals where they faced Arsenal. This time, however, Man City were defeated by Mikel Arteta's side and failed to defend their FA Cup title.

The UEFA Champions League restarted after more than five months of stoppage, the Citizens beat Real Madrid 2–1 (4–2 on agg.) in the second leg of their UCL Round of 16 match on 7 August,[3] and travelled to Portugal to play out the tournament as a straight one-legged knockout competition. They faced Lyon on 15 August and lost 1–3.[4]

Season review

Manchester City began the season as unprecedented holders of all 4 domestic competitions. Their first successful defence came on 4 August as they beat Liverpool on penalties at Wembley to retain the FA Community Shield in the traditional curtain raiser to the season.

Acknowledging that City would be judged by their Champions League performance after all,[7] Pep Guardiola said that the new season's main objective would be to win the European title. The Cityzens progressed to the knock-out phase and faced old foes Real Madrid there. Man City won the away game 2–1, but the remainder of the tournament was indefinitely postponed due to the COVID–19 pandemic. Finally, UEFA announced that the tournament would be resumed in August 2020. After 8 domestic trophies were clinched with Guardiola, fans eagerly await the team's first European title since 1970. The home match against Madrid was scheduled for 7 August. Thanks to a brace from Raheem Sterling and Gabriel Jesus, the Citizens once again defeated Madrid 2–1, achieving a 4–2 victory on aggregate and advancing to the quarterfinals. However, once again Man City exited the competition at the Quarter-finals, losing 1-3 to Lyon on 15 August in a one-off game held at the neutral Estádio José Alvalade in Lisbon.[8][9]

In the Premier League however, City were unable to maintain their consistency from the previous 2 seasons. Key players Aymeric Laporte and Leroy Sane endured extended injury layoffs from the beginning of the season until early 2020. Laporte's absence in particular impacted on the teams' defensive capabilities and their effectiveness against opposition set up to quickly counterattack on the break. City already had dropped more league points by the end of December 2019 (19) than they had in their entire previous two seasons.

For the second year in a row, City were the first top European team to reach 100 goals scored in all competitions when they beat Fulham 4–0 in a FA Cup 4th round match on 26 January 2020 [10]

On 14 February 2020, UEFA stated its intention to ban Manchester City from the all UEFA club competitions for the 2020–21 and 2021–22 seasons for alleged breaches of the UEFA Financial Fair Play Regulations.[11] UEFA noted the club's right to appeal at the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) and the club submitted an appeal on 26 February 2020.[12] As part of the appeal registration the Court of Arbitration for Sport stated a date for a final decision would be in the first half of July 2020. The appeal was heard on 8 June 2020.[13] The appeal was upheld on 13 July 2020, and the ban was overturned.[14]

On 1 March 2020, City won their 3rd EFL Cup in a row; and their 4th in 5 seasons, when they defeated Aston Villa 2–1 at Wembley Stadium.

In March, the season became affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.[15] On 10 March, the match between Manchester City and Arsenal, due to be played the next day, was postponed after a number of Arsenal players made close contact with Olympiacos owner Evangelos Marinakis, who had tested positive for infection with the coronavirus, when the two teams had met in the Europa League 13 days earlier.[16] On 12 March, it was revealed that three Leicester City players were self-isolating.[17] Manchester City also announced that their defender Benjamin Mendy was also self-isolating, after a family member displayed symptoms of the virus.[18] Later in the evening, it was then confirmed that Arsenal head coach Mikel Arteta had tested positive for coronavirus.[19] On 13 March, following an emergency meeting between the Premier League, The Football Association (FA), the English Football League and the FA Women's Super League, it was unanimously decided to suspend professional football in England until at least 4 April 2020.[20] On 19 March, the suspension was extended to at least 30 April 2020.[21] At the same time the FA agreed to extend the season indefinitely, past the scheduled end date of 1 June.

In late May 2020 the UK Government began to ease the lockdown measures which had been taken to combat the COVID-19 contagion and it was duly announced on 28 May that the Premier League clubs had agreed to play the remaining 92 Premier League fixtures and FA Cup fixtures in empty stadiums and with modified rules to minimize contagion from 17 June 2020. City restarted the season with a postponed game in hand against Arsenal on 17 June, winning 3–0. On 25 June City lost 2–1 away to Chelsea and as a result, Liverpool were confirmed as 2019–20 Premier League Champions with 7 rounds of games to be played. A week later, on 2 July, City were able to assuage some of the disappointment of losing their Premier League title to their rivals when they beat Liverpool 4–0 in the league at the Etihad.

In beating Newcastle 5–0 on 8 July, City achieved a pass completion rate of 93.7% - the highest accuracy on record in the Premier League since 2003-04 (since detailed passing statistics first were measured). Riyad Mahrez reaching 10 Premier League goals in the season in the same game also ensured City would be the first English top-flight side to have five different players score at least 10 league goals in a single season since Everton in 1984-85 (Sterling, De Bruyne, Aguero, Jesus, Mahrez).[22] The 5–0 victory away against Brighton on 11 July then confirmed that City would finish the season as runners-up to Liverpool in the league. City scored 102 league goals in 2019–20; it is the fifth time they have reached a century of goals after 1936–37, 1957–58, 2013–14 and 2017–18, an English record.[23]

On 18 July Arsenal beat City 2–0 in their FA Cup semi-final at Wembley to deny them an opportunity to defend their title in a showcase final. The Gunners went on to win a record 14th FA Cup title in the final, defeating Chelsea.
