Fernandinho hails Man City teamwork for Premier League triumph but warns the job is not done

Fernandinho hailed his Manchester City team after they clinched the Premier League title - but warned them that the job is still not done.

The Blues secure their third title triumph in four years and the 36-year-old skipper - who will get his fourth winner's medal - said that it was a huge achievement to win the tough English title.

“I am so proud and so happy with what we have achieved," said Fernandinho. The Premier League is the hardest league in world football – every single game is tough.

"To win it again means the world to me and the rest of the squad. To captain this team is an honour and a privilege because the players have given their all throughout season, whether in training or in matches.

"The teamwork has been amazing. Football is everything to us and we strive every single day to be as good as we can be in the hope we can bring success to Manchester City."

City have already bagged the Carabao Cup and on May 29 will face Chelsea in the Champions League final - with an unprecedented Treble beckoning.

And Fernandinho warned that, while the league is special, there is still a job of work to be done, with three league games to fulfil before they start to prepare for the final.

"Winning the Premier League title is the ultimate fulfilment of our ambitions," he said. "It’s what we all dreamed of as young players, so to do it is a wonderful feeling.

“We have missed the fans so much. We wanted to do this for them.

“We will enjoy this moment and we hope the fans do too. Rest assured we will continue to do everything we can to bring the Champions League home this season.”
