Former Manchester City defender Pablo Zabaleta has described the club’s 2011 FA Cup semi-final win over arch-rivals Manchester United as one of his greatest days in a sky blue jersey.
Yaya Toure got the only goal of the game as the club went on to beat Stoke City in the final - courtesy of another Toure strike - and lift their first piece of silverware in 35 years. The victory over United lives long in Zabaleta’s memory, having arrived at the Eithad three years earlier.
Speaking to the club’s official website, the 37-year-old said: “That game (against Manchester United) is one of my greatest memories as a City player. We got to the semi-final at Wembley against Manchester United, we won the game and then went on to win the FA Cup.
