Top 10 club football teams of the decade (2010-2019)

#6 Manchester City (2017-19)

Brighton & Hove Albion v Manchester City - Premier League

The Premier League has traditionally been a difficult league to play in and is known for the sheer number and intensity of games on offer. To make a league so competitive seem one-sided and tame, excellent coaching staff and a special group of players is a must.

That is exactly what Manchester City had in 2017. Pep Guardiola had arrived in the Premier League in 2016, and all had not gone well for him and the club in his first season. The Catalan, being the perfectionist that he is, took Manchester City's dominance to an incredible level the following season.

In a year that saw club talisman Sergio Aguero becoming the club's all-time leading goal-scorer, Manchester City broke several other records as well. Pep Guardiola led the team to an unprecedented 100 points in the Premier League and unearthed a few stars for the club along the way.

The likes of Kevin De Bruyne, Raheem Sterling, and Leroy Sane were always supremely talented but took their game to new heights and Manchester City became the undisputed best club in the league. The 2018/19 season saw Manchester City nearly breaking their own record by winning yet another Premier League title with 98 points.

The 2017/18 season was arguably the peak of the Manchester City project, and while European success eluded the group yet again, their achievements in England will be remembered for a long time.

Starting XI: Ederson; Kyle Walker, John Stones, Nicolas Otamendi, Fabian Delph; Fernandinho, Kevin De Bruyne, David Silva; Raheem Sterling, Leroy Sane, Sergio Aguero
