Ten years after the first title of the Emirati era in Manchester, offered after additional time by a goal that has become legendary from Sergio Agüero, City did it again on Sunday May 22. This time, the hero is called Ilkay Gündogan. Entering the game in the 68th minute, just before Aston Villa made the break (0-2), the German scored a miraculous double to carry City to an eighth title of champion of England.
Led to everyone’s surprise by Aston Villa at the start of the last quarter of an hour, Pep Guardiola’s men turned the tide in less than six minutes, thanks to two goals from Gündogan (76th, 81st), and an achievement with finesse from Rodri (78th). Enough to keep their destiny in their hands. And fortunately, because at the same time Liverpool also won against Wolverhampton (3-1), but for nothing. Manchester City retains its crown for a small point.
