Now they want to go a step further than any other team, win the top flight four times in a row.
It's exciting to be involved in - as a player, it's what you want to play in - relishing these opportunities and these rivalries," the City skipper stated after a 1-1 draw with Liverpool.
This is why this is the best league in the world - players want to come here, to play and compete in this league.
We came to (Anfield to) win and put a stance on the Premier League, but the Premier League is not decided by today. There's so much football and key, important games to play.
We've not lost here - we go into the big period now after the international break and try to clinch these four Premier Leagues in a row.
It's great for the Premier League - to have three teams so close, at the top of their game with great players, it's a great spectacle.
We need to make sure we're there and fighting until the end as we always do. To win three Premier Leagues in a row is fantastic but to do four which no one has ever done, that's what we are striving for - that's our hunger.
There's a lot of football to be played and there's going to be a lot of twist and turns - as there always is throughout every season. We need to make sure they go in our favor and we're at the top. We'll keep fighting."
