Tears of triumph for Manchester City
http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/philmcnul...mancheste.html
The whole stadium was a seething, swaying mass of celebration. It was as if a valve had been opened to release the years of suffering for City and for that famously good-natured support who have been sustained through the lean years by some of the game's finest dark humour.
The instant feeling here was that this was their Nou Camp moment, on a scale of importance to this particular club that could be compared with Manchester United's last-gasp comeback to win the Champions League against Bayern Munich in the same year.
The cynics will suggest this was the day City proved the Premier League was something money could buy, but the outpouring of emotion on the pitch and in the stands when Aguero's shot hit the back of Kenny's net was the product of the old glory of the game not financial rewards, as captain Kompany was keen to point out.
