The best photos from City Under-18s title-winning season

It was another brilliant campaign for Manchester City’s Under-18s, as we were once again crowned national champions at Academy level.

Ben Wilkinson’s side replicated the success of the 2019/20 and 2020/21 squads, winning the North Division and taking the national title with victory over Southampton.

Tai Sodje scored a brace as we came from behind to win at St Mary’s Stadium, capping a fine season for a group of players who also helped the Club lift the Under-17 Premier League Cup.

Check out the best photos from the 2021/22 campaign in the gallery below.
