City- Played 61 games, 50 wins, 5 draws, 6 losses
Liverpool- Played 53 games, 38 wins, 8 draws, 7 losses

Source: Wikipedia, I believe includes Community Shield but treats two Cup shootouts as ties.

As City fan, not surprisingly, I believe City's accomplishments far exceeded those of Liverpool this year.

-City won League and all available domestic trophies.
-Second most EPL points ever.
-City won head to head with a win and a tie.
-Among domestic top 6, City 8-1-1 or 25 points, with Liverpool second at 5-4-1 with 19 points
-Liverpool lost 7 point league lead in January and February letting City take league lead
-City won league by winning 14 games in a row to close out season while competing in three other competitions
-Set European club records for most goals in a season (169) and wins in a season (50)

Liverpool went into the Champions League final with its entire season on the line. Their win was an exceptional triumph and credit to an excellent squad and manager for winning the tournament, but if you head into your last game of the season with the spector of a loss raising questions as to whether your season was a failure, you were not the best team over a season.

Finally, Pep and City management certainly really want a Champions League trophy and badly, but the great majority of fans value the EPL championship and domestic bragging rights more highly.
