Where Man City’s 2011-12 Premier League title winners are now including final-day hero Sergio Aguero and Mario Balotelli.

 

SERGIO AGUERO'S last-minute goal to win Manchester City the 2012 title is the most iconic moment in Premier League history and happened ten years ago today.

The Etihad club have marked the occasion by placing a statue of Aguero's wild celebration against QPR outside the stadium.


 


 

The goal and therefore the title win opened the floodgates for City as they lifted their first Premier League crown.

They are now up to five and are four points away from a sixth crown, including four in the last five seasons.

But what has happened to the Argentine legend and his team-mates including maverick stars Carlos Tevez and Mario Balotelli in the decade that has passed since that memorable moment in 2012?

City looked destined to miss out on the title as they trailed 2-1 at home to relegation-threatened QPR after 90 minutes on May 13, 2012.

 

Pablo Zabaleta gave Roberto Mancini's men the lead six minutes before half-time but the Londoners battled back through Djibril Cisse and Jamie Mackie who scored either side of Joey Barton's red card for the visitors.

But somehow, after Edin Dzeko's header gave City the faintest glimmer of hope in the 92nd minute, Aguero got on the end of Balotelli's pass inside the penalty box.

As bitter rivals Manchester United waited with baited breath at Sunderland to see if their win was enough, the pint-sized superstar lashed the ball past Paddy Kenny in the 94th minute triggering scenes of total bedlam in the stadium.

Martin Tyler screamed "AGUEEEEERRRRROOOOOOO" to millions watching at home as the Argentine wheeled away in ecstasy twirling his shirt around his head.

 

But there were 13 other City stars who played that day and many more throughout the season - so here SunSport reveals what has happened to them since.
