City winning is good news for Wolves and Manchester United.
Wolves will be going into the Europa League next season and United will go into the group stages of the tournament rather than having to start in the qualifying rounds, which would have been the case if Watford had won.

Manchester United failed TWICE to win the domestic treble that Fergie described as 'impossible'… so can rivals City become the first team to pull it off?

It was this logic that would undo United in 2009, when David Moyes - and referee Mike Riley - thwarted the prospect of a domestic treble.
United were on course for a quadruple that season and, with a Champions League semi-final against Arsenal just a few days away, Ferguson gambled by resting Wayne Rooney, Cristiano Ronaldo and Edwin van der Sar for their FA Cup semi-final showdown with the Toffees.
Lacking their razor sharp teeth in front of goal, United laboured to a goalless draw as young trio Danny Welbeck, Darron Gibson and Federico Macheda failed to break down a resolute Everton side.
.....
Like United in 1994, City have been aided to an extent by their European slip-ups.
Their defeat to Tottenham in the quarter-finals of the Champions League allowed a domestic focus that proved essential to seeing off the phenomenal fight put up by Liverpool - who forced City to win an extraordinary 14 consecutive league matches in a row.*

he believed a domestic clean sweep was not possible while fighting on the continent!! (Those days when united didn't had the luxury of buying two world class players in each position)

1 - Manchester City have become the first men’s team to win the domestic treble in England, winning the Premier League, FA Cup and League Cup all in 2018-19. History.

50 - Manchester City are the first English top-flight side in history to win 50 matches in a single season in all competitions, six more than they managed in 2017-18. Eclipsed.
