The Belgian defender was candid about his and his teammates’ emotions following EPL’s most memorable match and called it the “moment of his generation in football.”
In response to Gary Lineker’s questions about the legendary EPL match against Queens Park Rangers, Kompany revealed that the season still left him speechless to this day. The match wrote Sergio Aguero into EPL’s history books and immortalized him as a modern-day great in the EPL.
Kompany believes EPL favorites Manchester United bottled their lead
The 2011-12 EPL season witnessed a proverbial see-saw of power till the very end between the two Manchester giants. The Red Devils had accumulated a lead of 8 points with six games left in the season but inexplicably conceded the EPL title to Manchester City with a string of under-par performances.
Manchester City also emerged victorious in the last Manchester derby of the season, with a Vincent Kompany header helping them to a crucial 1-0 victory.
EPL giants Manchester United certainly had several opportunities to seal the title victory well before the final matchday, but were unable to do so. Kompany believes that while Manchester City may not have had its best season, the team was able to seize the most crucial moments.
The 2011-12 EPL season had arguably the most exhilarating season climax of the century. Manchester City was desperate for victory on the final day of the season against a Queens Park Rangers side that was playing for survival for a large part of the game.
After some incredible bedlam and strikes for Pablo Zabaleta, Djibril Cisse, Jamie Mackie, and Edin Dzeko, Manchester City’s talisman Sergio Aguero stepped up to score the winning goal. His strike secured Manchester City’s first EPL title in over 40 years.
The heroics of the City players, the raptures of the Etihad faithful, and the power shift that the spectacle initiated ensured that a cosmic shift in the dynamics of the EPL was inevitable.
