The 1-0 result against Leicester on May 6th 2019 put the Club
one point ahead at the top of the 2019 Premier League table. And
they retained the title by the same margin six days later. Kompany
had already lifted the EFL Cup in February 2019 after a penalty
shootout victory over Chelsea. He also played the whole of the 2019
FA Cup Final, a 6-0 victory over Watford, as the Club completed an
unprecedented domestic treble.
Kompany lead this great era from the front. With skill, courage and
intelligence, he held this group together, nurturing it into the
all-conquering team that will forever be celebrated as a golden
era in the history of this great club.
‘
Amongst a decade of highlights and moments of
true leadership, his thunderous strike against
Leicester was a stand-out. Not only was it a
screamer, scored by a defender from outside the
box, but Sergio begged him not to shoot just before
he did. They laughed about it after the game. It
turned out to be the goal that ultimately won the
League that year. It was also his final appearance
at the Etihad Stadium as a player. He was very
emotional after it and wept on the pitch.
