The 2011-2012 season was a milestone for Manchester City as the team, which was bought in 2008 by Abu Dhabi United Group, managed to reach the Premier League title. Until then, the \"Citizens\" counted only two championship victories, in the distant 1937 and in 1968.<\/p>\n

Coached by Roberto Mancini, City had an impressive roster with players such as Aguero, Dzeko, Yaya Toure, Tevez and captain Vincent Kompany. The league ending in 2012 was taken from a movie script as City and United claimed the title until the last minute of the final game. Manchester City needed a victory in the last game against QPR to secure the title, regardless of what United would do in the game against Sunderland.<\/p>\n

City took the lead with a goal by Zabaleta from the first half. QPR, however, who wanted the victory for their stay in the Premier League, overturned the score with goals from Cisse and Mackie. At the same time, Manchester United was taking a 0-1 victory at Sunderland and was ready to celebrate winning the league. City equalized with a goal by Dzeko in the 92\u2019. Mancini's team wanted another goal and continued to push. In 94\u2019, the \"miracle\" happened and with Aguero's goal, Manchester City made an incredible upset and literally at the last moment of the season won the title through the hands of \"fellow citizen\" United.<\/p>\n

This jersey was worn during the impressive 2011-2012 season and was associated with the return of the \"Citizens\" to the titles. The Belgian, Vincent Kompany, was the team captain and the leader of the defense and became the first person to lift the Premier League trophy at the Etihad Stadium.<\/p>\n
