Manchester City have won a game in the Champions' League! Aguero is my hero all over again! That goal could honestly be the most important goal of our Champions' League campaign. We've got Villareal next and I see no reason why we can't beat them again, and with Napoli up against Bayern again City could find themselves in 2nd place and heading through to the next round.
I thought we were a bit more adventurous than Villareal, who rarely opted to go forwards, but boy do we make it more difficult than we need to. David Silva of all people was the man to sell de Jong short and give our Spanish opponents a chance to take the lead.
I have to give a special mention to James Milner who once again played brilliantly. His expert reverse ball played in Pablo Zabaleta who crossed for David Silva. Silva's backheel found Aguero and Aguero tapped in. I went absolutely berserk, hugged a fellow Blue, jumped around the aisles and completely lost any idea of my surroundings. The last time we scored a last minute was in November 2007! Steven Ireland's volley gave us a 2-1 win over Reading that day, and four years later we're on a much bigger stage.
This learning curve is straightening out slightly as each game passes in this competition, and we may have that little bit of quality to get through. But we sit third and with our future out of our hands. Anyway, roll on Sunday!
