Paddy Kenny expresses his utter disagreement with the narratives that others have conveyed to him regarding Sergio Aguero’s title-winning goal.He is the answer to a trivia question that will endure for years to come:
who was the custodian past whom Sergio Aguero fired his renowned title-winning goal when Manchester City secured their first-ever Premier League championship in 2012? City supporters will
have witnessed that goal on numerous occasions and are aware that QPR stopper Paddy Kenny deserves a place in football folklore for being on the wrong end of one of the most iconic moments in modern-day football. In the final match of the 2011/12 campaign, City
completed a miraculous turnaround with Aguero’s goal, despite entering stoppage time at the Etihad Stadium trailing to a QPR team that was battling relegation. Edin Dzeko scored an equaliser, and Aguero scored past Kenny to secure City’s first title in 44 years as England’s champions.
Paddy Kenny contemplates Sergio Aguero’s moment. Kenny’s most renowned moment on a football pitch is the Aguero goal, despite the fact that he enjoyed a 20-year career in English football, commencing at Bradford Park Avenue.
One criticism of his performance that day particularly irks him, and it is one that he is constantly reminded of.He wrote in his autobiography The Gloves Are Off, “Even to this day, I still have people saying to me, ‘Oh, you should never have gotten beaten there at your near post.
‘” READ MORE: Who is Sergio Aguero? Explore the biography of the Premier League icon who has scored 260 goals for Manchester City. “That is unacceptable for the duration of one minute.” Aguero was approximately seven or eight yards away from the ball, and have you observed the force with which he struck it?
Before I could react, it had already passed. I would have comprehended the situation if it were five yards from the touchline. However, if I am being excessively self-critical, I could have probably moved another half-step to my left.
“Even then, I am not claiming that I would have saved it!”
I would have been unable to reach it in time. If anything, it would have been a foot. However, this would have resulted in the most renowned goal in football history not being achieved, and I would not have been able to watch it on television on a regular basis. The return of Manchester City was a “sliding doors moment.” He further stated, ”
It was akin to a moment of sliding doors.” “The title would have been won by Manchester United that year, and who knows what would have happened to City?” Since 2012, competition times have been achieved. Premier League 7 FA Cup 2 League Cup 6 Champions League 1 Club World Cup 1 Manchester City has won numerous significant awards since 2012.
City have since added seven additional Premier League titles to their trophy cabinet, with the 2012 victory marking the beginning of a period of dominance at the Etihad.
Although United’s rivals were able to regain the title the following season, it was Sir Alex Ferguson’s final match, and the Red Devils are presently ranked 13th in the Premier League table, 11 seasons after their last title victory.
A period of sustained domination was always a possibility, given the level of City’s spending over the past 15 years. However, every new era requires a signature moment to usher it in, and Kenny is astute enough to recognise the role he played in City’s ascent.
