City became the fastest club in Premier League history to score 100 competitive goals in all competitions and the first to complete this feat before the end of January.[2] They went on to score 156 goals in all competitions, breaking the previous record of 143 goals set by Manchester United in 1956–57.[3] City's 100th Premier League goal of the season was scored in the 4–0 victory over Aston Villa on 7 May 2014. This was the first time the Blues had scored more than 100 league goals in the English top division in a single season since 1957–58.[4] Coincidentally, their 100th goal was notable for another reason, as it became the first goal in all of English league football to be decided via the "Hawk-Eye" system, which had been rolled out for use in English football at the start of the season.[5]
The final tally of 102 league goals was at the time the second-highest Premier League season total and one goal short of Chelsea's 2009–10 record.[6] This was also the first Premier League season where a team had three individual players each score more than 15 goals, with City accomplishing the feat courtesy of Yaya Touré, Sergio Agüero and Edin Džeko.[7]
The 2013–14 season marked the first time City advanced to the round of 16 of the UEFA Champions League. There, the Blues were defeated by Barcelona 4–1 on aggregate.[8][9] City also recorded their first silverware of the Manuel Pellegrini era on 2 March 2014, when they lifted the Football League Cup.[10] It was the club's first triumph in the competition since 1976.[11]
On 11 May 2014, City won the Premier League for the second time in three seasons following a 2–0 win over West Ham United.[12] It was the first time that Manchester City had won two trophies in a season since 1969–70, when they won the League Cup and the Cup Winners' Cup.
