You said:

"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."

If City lost their last game, then they would have lost both of their biggest competitions. I'd say that's a failure for City.

I suppose that's right in that moment

Though City had the League Cup in the bag and the FA Cup still upcoming to partially salvage the season, you are right that a City slip then would have clearly shifted the magnitude of season achievement to Liverpool winning the two biggest trophies in club football.

The FA Cup?

Or did you mean Gameweek 38 against Brighton (6 days before the FA final)?

I meant Brighton. Didn't think of FA cup final.

So I guess it doesn't, but 2nd to last game is close.

And I don't disagree with the rest of the post.
