Former Manchester City defender Pablo Zabaleta has explained how he was always sure the 2013/14 Premier League title would end up at the Etihad.
That famous run-in eight years ago saw Liverpool in pole position with three games to go, but defeat against Chelsea and a draw with Crystal Palace allowed City to capitalise and lift their second title of the Premier League era. The Anfield club had been strong favourites to earn their first crown since 1990 just 20 days prior, but Zabaleta said he always knew his club would be the one that prevailed.
“I feel we always kept believing that we were going to win the Premier League (in 2014),” he told the club’s website this week. “We played great football that season. Liverpool were in a good moment and was a team that was a big contender, but I feel we always believed that the Premier League was for us.
