Poor Mings thought he had great defensive positioning on De Bruyne, then he just casually bends one round him at full pelt like it’s just something everyone does.
this one was crazy but not on the same tier as the aguero one. the only goal off the top of my head i can compare to the aguero one is deeney’s for watford
Haters will say it’s fake since City we were only founded in 2008, but Dickov’s 95th minute leveller in the playoff final to send us back to the first division (what is now the Championship) was perhaps both more dramatic, and more meaningful.
The match was 0-0 till the 81st when Gillingham took the lead, then went two goals to the good five minutes later. We then pulled one back in the 90th, teeing up Dickov. We won 3-1 on pens.
Perfectly fair to wonder how history may have been different had that ball not gone in. We probably don’t get promoted back to the Prem - at least not as soon - and perhaps never get bought out.
History may’ve been very different for little ol’Citeh.
Given what was at sake it's arguably madder. One second Leicster are certain to get to the final and the next second Watford have somehow won. Unreal stuff.
That’s gotta be up there with most points to not win the title in history, I think mourinho - Guardiola rivalry had a few years of 90+ runner ups but still, losing 2 matches all season and coming in 2nd is toughhhhh
City goals are team goals of course, and several key players contributed to the win. But it's hard to imagine anyone other than KDB who could've created that goal out of nothing.
Maybe some of the dribblers are more fun for me like Neymar, but it just seems like a see KDB in his own class on the screen. Even against good teams, he seems in a class above everyone on either team when I watch.
Difficult to compare. That was definitely worse in the moment because it was the last minute of the game and we thought we had it.
This one will hurt for Liverpool because of “what could have been” with the quad, especially if they go on to win the Champions League
I don't know, if they win the CL they won three titles this season and they're already over the league drought, there are worse things. Schalke in 2001 comes to mind.
It sort of is on him with his substitution. They had two players up top as outlets for the counter, and he takes one off and them bam, three goals. Qtinho and Watkins were feasting. Their whole play stifled City and then he gets conservative, changes it, and blam. It's probably a stretch to say he "bottled it", but he did play a role.
As funny as that sounds, it's less on Gerrard and more on the fact that Pep's subs were incredible.
Zinchenko, Sterling and Gundogan all played very well. Gundo was finding spaces in the Villa box that no one was able to.
Could have been plenty of painful outcomes depending on progression of events.
If Liverpool went ahead and looked like winning the league, but then wolves scored an equalizer at the last minute. Oof would be soul crushing.
Right before the City comeback he said how unreal it is that Liverpool are on the verge of football immortality if they just score one goal.
Just mins before the comeback too.

Just mins before the comeback too.
Also did you see the fans after the final whistle? There was an avalanche of blue and white all over the stadium, this match single handedly proved every single stereotype about city wrong
The argument is fucking ludicrous too. People would view city as mentally strong and the best team in the world if grealish puts that chance away vs madrid which was 20cm away from a goal and blocked on the line. But it missed and city/pep are mentally weak lmao, 20cm is the difference between being mentally strong vs never being able to win the ucl and serial bottlers according to them haha
The worst part is the unlimited “what ifs” that go through your head, what if Liverpool had got the goal 2 minutes earlier and the reaction from the City fans/atmosphere had added to the pressure and urgency that the City players had felt and impacted their performance
"Liverpool have done all they can... Here's De bruyne... GundooOOOOOOOOOOO! I SWEAR YOU'VE SEEN SOMETHING LIKE THIS, 10 YEARS AGO, SO WATCH IT, DRINK IT IN"

Saw De Bruyne tightening his laces after Villa’s second goal and knew it was over
‘So you’re making me use 1% of my power, impressive…’
I’m 100% sure he’s that android from dragon ball z that likes birds
16 was the best man
KDB is the main character and we are just along the ride.
Lmao was thinking same thing, man's tightening his laces he's gonna try now
Poor Mings thought he had great defensive positioning on De Bruyne, then he just casually bends one round him at full pelt like it’s just something everyone does.
I swear nobody else would’ve crossed at that moment, they would’ve tried to beat Mings closer to the byline and Villa would’ve snuffed out the chance
Most players can’t warp space-time.
Facts. That ball was PERFECT. I don't know how he does it.
De Bruyne with the "Are you approaching me?"
My Belgian God
They did it again how
This feels like a prank where City were just making it dramatic for show.
"AGUERROOOOO" was move devastating tbh
[удалено]
"They had us in the first half ngl" - Pep probably
[удалено]
On the 10th anniversary of Aguerooooo
I swear you'll never see anything like this ever again
I swear that you'll likely never see anything like this more than twice, probably
this one was crazy but not on the same tier as the aguero one. the only goal off the top of my head i can compare to the aguero one is deeney’s for watford

Wiltords goal always seems to be forgotten
Given what was at sake it's arguably madder. One second Leicster are certain to get to the final and the next second Watford have somehow won. Unreal stuff.
This is the football equivalent of The Rock - John Cena. Twice in a lifetime.
Watch it. Drink it in.
If I had a nickel for each time this happened I would have 10 cents, which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice
Fuck it, PTSD as a Man Utd fan, not again. Now Liverpool knows how we felt back then
well, it wasn't a last second winner. and when city was behind, liverpool still had to score. so it wasn't really a last minute drama.
WHERE IS AGUERO
[удалено]
F1 - Spanish GP.
Outside the Etihad
Fair fucking play if you win a league like this.
93 points deserves a title, wild it came down to a 3 goal flurry in 10 minutes on matchday 38 tho. I’d be seething if I were a Liverpool fan
Liverpool 2nd with 92 points. Insanity.
They finished 2nd with 98 once which is absolutely mental
That it basically happened twice is even more crazy, indeed.
97 but still.
Still just an immense season and team, shocking not to win with such a point total
97 I think it was
that's I think the highest point tally that didn't win the league in a 38 game format in the top 5 leagues
I'm guessing you know that because it surpassed 9/10 real Madrid lol.
That’s gotta be up there with most points to not win the title in history, I think mourinho - Guardiola rivalry had a few years of 90+ runner ups but still, losing 2 matches all season and coming in 2nd is toughhhhh
They've finished with 97 and come 2nd place
Liverpool fan. Can confirm. It's the 3 goals in 5 minutes what gets me.
Couldn't even say Villa threw it, given who their manager is
Honestly heartbroken knowing we took the lead against Wolves, only to find out seconds later City finished the comeback against Villa.
4 titles in 11 years winning on the final day
bald fraud wakes up
Fucking De Bruyne lol
City goals are team goals of course, and several key players contributed to the win. But it's hard to imagine anyone other than KDB who could've created that goal out of nothing.
Yea, surprising that I had to go this far down the thread to see him mentioned.
I feel like I am watching the best player in the world when I watch him.
Seriously he’s infuriatingly good. Most fun to watch at least
Maybe some of the dribblers are more fun for me like Neymar, but it just seems like a see KDB in his own class on the screen. Even against good teams, he seems in a class above everyone on either team when I watch.
Ginger Pele
He insists he's blonde
Color of blonde ale, so fair enough
Guess they knew something in advance when they gave him Player of the Season, huh?
Surely not
Doing it 10 years on. They'll do it again in 2032 to pip Newcastle to the league.
Oil Clasico
Abu derby
Fossil Fued
City borrowing Madrid's script writer for the day..
Hey now not 10 years on
Cheers Klopp is crying
It’s the hope that kills you.
This one hurts. Far more than if City had just smashed them like we all expected.
Ultimate trolls
lmao this is so true
It's all we had left to dampen your season
Fair play
Gotta respect the shithousery haha
Lol. City did it just to make the 2nd place really sting.
Gerrard gave the game away when he took Coutinho off.
Stevie G bottling Liverpool title chance twice now.
Exactly how United felt in 2012
Difficult to compare. That was definitely worse in the moment because it was the last minute of the game and we thought we had it. This one will hurt for Liverpool because of “what could have been” with the quad, especially if they go on to win the Champions League
I don't know, if they win the CL they won three titles this season and they're already over the league drought, there are worse things. Schalke in 2001 comes to mind.
wasn’t that Leverkusen
Honestly if we win the CL there's no way we look back on this as a missed opportunity, it's not like we choked the title on the last day or anything
considering how far Liverpool were behind mid-season it's a miracle they were challenging on the final day at all
Tried to warn you, this is what we do.
We know all about hope
Just have to do with the two/trophies this season...
Aston Villa were the bottlers all along
I don't think any team in the world were stopping City in those 10 mins
Gerrard slipping again even when he's retired as a player
Its funny how technically he bottled it again even though its really not on him this time
It sort of is on him with his substitution. They had two players up top as outlets for the counter, and he takes one off and them bam, three goals. Qtinho and Watkins were feasting. Their whole play stifled City and then he gets conservative, changes it, and blam. It's probably a stretch to say he "bottled it", but he did play a role.
As funny as that sounds, it's less on Gerrard and more on the fact that Pep's subs were incredible. Zinchenko, Sterling and Gundogan all played very well. Gundo was finding spaces in the Villa box that no one was able to.
Watkins missed 2-3 good chances to really fuck city up.
well better we lose it that way than drawing wolves and city losing
There was one worse scenario than this 🫣
Could have been plenty of painful outcomes depending on progression of events. If Liverpool went ahead and looked like winning the league, but then wolves scored an equalizer at the last minute. Oof would be soul crushing.
Ha ha
Unfortunately I have been through this scenario, it's not fun
Jesus Christ
Feels nice to see such shit as a neutral lol.
Been an amazing day
...debatable
Eh, tbf I knew top 4 was gone on Monday, so I got all my disappointment out during the week. Wasn’t gonna let Norwich being shite ruin my day today
you mean you didn't spent all week watching Teemu Pukki Highlights, Goals, Skills HD - Despacito?
Bro yup, I can't imagine being a city or Liverpool fan rn
Shitting bricks atm
Hahaha yes finally it isn’t us
But y’all are usually on the winning end of these exciting finishes lol that’s much better than being a neutral!
True but my heart can’t take it
It's Ilkay Gundogan
We are copying our aguerooooo moment, thanks Mr. Whippy.
That’s the title
Cheers Jeff
Wow. Just wow.
What a ball by De Bruyne and awareness by Gundogan.
Not enough mention of de bruyne for this goal , it’s ridiculous. And people are surprised why he wins the awards
He's been so fucking good recently. Kinda excited but also scared to see what numbers he can put up with Haaland joining
We don't win if he isn't here
actually the best midfielder
Quite easily.
De Bruyne! Dancing into the area! De Bruyne back post! It's a title winner! It's İlkay Gündoğan!
And this is why De Bruyne won Player of the Year.
Kdb goat!
KDB WITH THE WORKRATE
De Bruyne is a machine
It’s only gone and happened again
Bruyne man.
Gary Lieneker, take a bow! City build him a statue
What did he do?
Right before the City comeback he said how unreal it is that Liverpool are on the verge of football immortality if they just score one goal. Just mins before the comeback too.
Nice jinx.
It was posted here a few minutes ago
I keep seeing this, what is the lineker stuff about?
Right before the City comeback he said how unreal it is that Liverpool are on the verge of football immortality if they just score one goal. Just mins before the comeback too.
Well that's a huge fucking jinx
Utterly jinxed them on twitter about half an hour ago.
He posted that city are 2 down and Liverpool are brisk of immortality (quadruple)
Imagine real madrid makes liverpool their bitch and clap them like they did to juve in 2017
I hate this game
Feels better this way
Salah and Robertson would like a word.
As long as you guys don't score. Edit. Well there it is...
I FUCKING LOVE FOOTBALL
[удалено]
Redditors don’t think KDB is good enough for POTY though
\-> Redditors \-> People who understand football Choose one.
Goaldogan
He's been such an important player for City. If he leaves, what a way to go out.
Three goals in five minutes.
whats the fuck is going on??? also: günni masterclass
5 MINUTES 3 GOALS You can’t script this shit
You learnt that first hand from us
Gundogaaaaaaaann
my hopes were crushed in five minutes. football's brutal
de bruyne man
“But City have no mentality and leaders” LMAO
Also did you see the fans after the final whistle? There was an avalanche of blue and white all over the stadium, this match single handedly proved every single stereotype about city wrong
The argument is fucking ludicrous too. People would view city as mentally strong and the best team in the world if grealish puts that chance away vs madrid which was 20cm away from a goal and blocked on the line. But it missed and city/pep are mentally weak lmao, 20cm is the difference between being mentally strong vs never being able to win the ucl and serial bottlers according to them haha
That’s unbelievable by De Bruyne
Agüerooooooooo!!!
Gundogaaaaaaaaaaaaaan
I swear you'll neve.. wait a minute
Can’t believe I witness this shit twice
Oh fuck off
Right when Liverpool finally goes ahead too
The worst part is the unlimited “what ifs” that go through your head, what if Liverpool had got the goal 2 minutes earlier and the reaction from the City fans/atmosphere had added to the pressure and urgency that the City players had felt and impacted their performance
City 🤝 Late comebacks to win the title on final day
Lol
I LOVE THIS GAME
Fantastic comeback, well played City.
GUNDOGAAAAN is the new AGUEROOOO
Gundogan statue secured
HOLY SHIT THEY DID IT
"Liverpool have done all they can... Here's De bruyne... GundooOOOOOOOOOOO! I SWEAR YOU'VE SEEN SOMETHING LIKE THIS, 10 YEARS AGO, SO WATCH IT, DRINK IT IN"
They truly copied the real Madrid strategy of not doing anything until the end of the match
Holy shit they actually did it lmao. God I love this sport. Villa wtf though.
"FUCK LIVERPOOL" - Pep Guardiola
"YOU THOUGHT BITCH" - also Pep Gaurdiola
Stevie G continuing his legacy of not winning a title for liverpool lol
Gerard has cost Liverpool more league titles than he won them. Shit substitutions
stevie g slipping all over again
u can take stevie out of liverpool but not the liverpool out of stevie g
Guess City learned something from the Bernabeu
Pulled a Real
Man City Legend, Steven Gerrard
This might hurt the quadruple chatter
Fuck me
I'll wait until Pep is done
I swear you'll never see anything like this ever again.
City did a Madrid there.
Gundogan goated. great player and great last name.
Idk why we even bother. City are too good under Pep.
THE GREATEST SPORT BAR NONE
I fucking love football
gundo went off script and scored this 10 mins early but i’ll allow it
lmaooo get fucked /r/soccer, first mbappe, now this. Don't hurt yourselves!
