History

The 2018/19 Premier League season was Manchester City's defining campaign of the Pep Guardiola era. The club retained its Premier League title with 98 points — one ahead of Liverpool — and completed an unprecedented English domestic treble by also lifting the FA Cup and the EFL Cup.

Manchester City defeated Watford 6-0 in the FA Cup final and overcame Chelsea on penalties in the EFL Cup final, becoming the first English men's side ever to win all three major domestic trophies in a single season.

Kevin De Bruyne, wearing his trademark number 17, returned from a knee injury that had limited his start to the season but still produced the vision, passing range, and creativity that made him the most influential midfielder in English football. Despite only 11 Premier League starts due to recurring injury issues, his impact during City's title run-in remained crucial.

De Bruyne would later win consecutive PFA Players' Player of the Year awards in 2019/20 and 2020/21, cementing his legacy as one of the greatest Premier League midfielders of all time. The long-sleeve version of this shirt was produced in significantly smaller numbers than the short-sleeve edition, making this 10/10 example especially collectible.

FAQs

Did Manchester City win the domestic treble in 18/19?

Yes. The 2018/19 season saw Manchester City become the first English men's team to complete a domestic treble in a single season — winning the Premier League, FA Cup, and EFL Cup. They retained the league with 98 points, defeated Watford 6-0 in the FA Cup final, and beat Chelsea on penalties in the EFL Cup final.

The campaign is widely regarded as one of the greatest single-season performances in English football history.

Why is the long-sleeve version of this shirt rarer?

Long-sleeve football shirts are produced in significantly smaller numbers than short-sleeve versions because they're mainly worn during winter European nights and cold-weather fixtures. The Manchester City 18/19 home LS was used during winter Premier League and Champions League matches, and surviving 10/10 examples are considerably harder to find than standard short-sleeve replicas.

When did De Bruyne play for Manchester City wearing number 17?

Kevin De Bruyne has worn the number 17 at Manchester City continuously since joining from VfL Wolfsburg in summer 2015. The number has become strongly associated with him in Manchester City history. The 18/19 home long-sleeve is one of the editions specifically tied to his domestic treble-winning campaign.
