Vincent Kompany told chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak that he wanted to leave Manchester City in the immediate aftermath of his stunning winner over Leicester in the 2019 title run-in - and then both of them kept the news from Pep Guardiola.
Kompany left City after a glittering 11-year spell, with the inspirational captain calling time on his association with the Blues after helping them to an unprecedented domestic treble. The Belgian will be remembered most for his long-range goal over Leicester to move City above Liverpool in the 2019 title race with one game to go.
City would go on to win the title on the final day at Brighton, with the FA Cup following a week later in the 6-0 hammering of Watford that would prove to be Kompany's last game.
