The English Premier League is often considered the most competitive major soccer league around the globe. With numerous teams winning the title from year to year, few have been an exception to winning the trophy multiple times. In this article, we’ll outline the five most recent Premier League victors (from 2021 to 2025), including which teams won it and when, how the final match concluded and any notable players on the team.
While it’s no surprise considering the depth of their team, Manchester City began the first of a four-year Premier League winning streak, which could’ve been seven in a row had it not been for Liverpool in the 2019-2020 season. This year was City’s seventh Premier League title, finishing with 86 points, which was 12 more than their second-place rivals, Manchester United. This year’s team featured players like Ruben Dias, Kevin De Bruyne, Ilkay Gundogan, Raheem Sterling, Riyad Mahrez, Phil Foden and more, all of whom contributed to City’s deep squad, which helped them earn the EFL Cup as well as their domestic league. Although they collected two trophies, they fell in the Champions League Final and FA Cup Semi-Finals, so Pep Guardiola’s men were three wins away from a Quadruple.
The 2021-22 season was no different for Manchester City, except this time, they’d win the Premier League with 93 points, barely edging the trophy away from Liverpool with 92 points, after the Reds suffered a draw with four games to go. It was one of the closest title races in the English Premier League ever, and it was Man City’s only major piece of silverware that year. The team was very similar to the 2020-21 squad, but they sold Ferran Torres to Barcelona before adding Jack Grealish from Aston Villa.
Now hitting their third season in a row of winning the English Premier League, Pep Guardiola’s squad was proving to be nothing less than impressive. This year, the team would take home the EPL title with just 89 points, five ahead of Arsenal. They also won the UEFA Champions League and FA Cup to seal the prestigious Treble, marking the first time Pep won the UCL in Manchester. The biggest reason this team proved to be the best in Europe that year was the addition of Erling Haaland from Borussia Dortmund. The Norwegian netted 52 goals across all competitions, bringing home the Golden Boot in the Champions League and Premier League.
The 2023-24 Premier League season finished with Manchester City and Pep Guardiola’s squad posting 91 points, which was just enough to edge out Arsenal with 89. However, this title would be their last, ending a streak of four in a row. The core squad of Kevin De Bruyne, Erlin Haaland, Ruben Dias, Bernarndo Silva, Phil Foden, Kyle Walker and Rodri was at the top of their game once again. The team earned not only the Premier League title but also the UEFA Super Cup and the FIFA Club World Cup.
As of the 2024-25 season, Liverpool would provide a breath of fresh air by dethroning the reigning Champs of Manchester City. The Reds mathematically won the title in Matchday 34, as they dismantled Tottenham 5-1 at Anfield. The team features a brilliant squad composed of players like Mohamed Salah, Alexis Mac Allister, Cody Gakpo, Virgil Van Dijk, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Luis Diaz and Alisson, all of whom helped the team achieve their 20th English top-flight Championship. Now, first-year manager Arne Slot will aim to secure back-to-back titles, which hasn’t been done by a Liverpool manager since Bob Paisley in 1981-1983.
