'We don't want to be the clowns' - Jose Mourinho's half-time teamtalk inspired Manchester United to avoid ultimate embarrassment
06.05.2023 - 04:17 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
The pyrotechnics were loaded, the t-shirts were printed, and the champagne was on ice. For Manchester City fans it was looking like the ultimate coronation day.
They had the chance to win the Premier League title in record-breaking style at home to Manchester United. They would have needed no further reason to pledge allegiance to Pep Guardiola.
It felt like a day of destiny, and until half-time that's how it was panning out. The fireworks City had ordered were not the ones they got, though.
From the very start, it felt like a party, but City hadn't accounted for Jose Mourinho being the ultimate party pooper; a villain who enjoys spoiling them as much as he enjoys holding them himself.
The City players carried their children onto the pitch ahead of kick-off, in anticipation of a win that would see them lift the title with six games to spare.
Vincent Kompany scored the winning goal in the 2012 Manchester derby win on the way to City's title triumph, and it felt like history was repeating itself when he brushed aside Chris Smalling from a corner and thumped home the opening goal.
They'd have a second just five minutes later when Ilkay Gundogan played a clever one-two with Raheem Sterling on the edge of the box before turning tightly and poking the ball across goal into the far corner of the net.
"This is Manchester City. This is why they are the best," shrieked Martin Tyler on commentary.
It was beyond the wildest dreams for many City fans as the chant of 'championes, championes, ole, ole, ole' prematurely echoed around the Etihad and sky blue smoke bombs pierced the air with the colour of victory. They'd certainly be feeling blue later.
It felt like a formality; City were comfortably ahead, and they were hungry for more.
