Despite a somewhat disappointing finishing position, City scored 71 goals, more than any other team in the Premier League, including 47 at home.
Sergio Agüero scored 24 goals and maintained his position as the all-time most efficient striker in the Premier League.
Joe Hart missed out on the Golden Glove award by a single point; despite achieving more clean sheets than the previous year, he was just one short of the eventual winner.
In February 2016, City beat Liverpool on penalties to take home the Capital One Cup for the second time in three seasons.
City progressed further than ever before in the Champions League, beating Paris Saint-Germain 3-2 on aggregate in the quarter-finals before being knocked out by Real Madrid in the semi-final with a 1-0 aggregate defeat.
19-year-old Kelechi Iheanacho scored 14 goals in 35 appearances, having graduated from the Elite Development Squad to the first team at the beginning of the season.
The squad was strengthened in the summer 2015 transfer window with the signing of midfielder Raheem Sterling, Belgian midfielder Kevin De Bruyne and Argentinian centre-half Nicolas Otamendi.
Following the Capital One Cup win, Manuel Pellegrini announced that 2015-16 would be his final season in charge of the Club, and it was announced that Pep Guardiola would be the new Manchester City manager.
