Vincent Kompany says the 2018/19 title win is his most satisfying as City captain.

The Belgian celebrated his fourth Premier League crown after a 4-1 win over Brighton secured the crown, one point ahead of Liverpool.

Kompany says of all the successes under his leadership, this was the best…

“It was the hardest and most satisfying Premier League title win ever,” smiled Kompany.

“Liverpool were exceptional this year and I don’t mean to rub it in – it is what it is – they didn’t deserve to be second this year, but it only makes me that much more happy that we’ve been up against such a good team and when our backs were against the wall we kept finding the results.

“We won at the Etihad against Liverpool and I think that made the difference and once we got our noses in front, we were able to stay in front – I’m so happy for myself, the team and our fans.”

Kompany said the players knew they had to focus on their own task and disregard what was happening – or appeared to be happening – elsewhere.
