In an interview with the Daily Mail, Yaya Touré shared some juicy anecdotes about Manchester City's Premier League title win in 2012. Forced off with an injury during the epic final-day match against QPR (3-2), which saw the Citizens win the title, the former Ivory Coast Elephants captain watched the crazy finale between the two sides from the dressing room. It was an emotional moment he will never forget.
Yaya Touré recalls: "Did you know I missed Sergio Aguero's goal? On the treatment table in the dressing room," he boasts. "We were too relaxed that day. We thought QPR would be a walkover. At the end of the first half, I stretched, passed the ball to (Pablo) Zabaleta, who scored. I felt it straight away. My hamstring. It was horrible. QPR equalised and I could hear the fans shouting outside. I said to the kit man, Chappy."
The former Barcelona man continues: " 'Listen, this is too stressful. Please, can you put a TV in front of me?' We saw QPR score again, 2-1. Now I understand what the fans go through. I felt that fear, that anxiety, and how quickly it can set in. I went through it all. 'How are we going to lose this game? How is this possible?' I was going to the toilet every two minutes. Edin Dzeko equalised in the 92nd minute before Aguero stepped up to win the title. I forgot about my hamstring and ran down the tunnel. I don't know how, but I ended up on the pitch. The doctor said to me: 'What are you doing here?' I was like, 'I don't know!' I will never forget that moment."
