Ten years later, still running out.
As in the days of Roberto Mancini, when the championship arrived in injury time, Manchester City conquered their eighth national title - the fourth in the last five seasons - by overcoming Aston Villa.
At the end of an imperfect match, but exciting for emotions, it is enough to confirm the Citizens champions of England for the second consecutive year, the fourth in the last five seasons.
A dominance unexpectedly questioned by the Villas of Steven Gerrard, former Anfield legend, who on the last day of the championship find themselves two goals ahead thanks to the high pitches of Matty Cash and Philippe Coutinho.
Unlikely, no less than unexpected, the comeback of the hosts at the end, who in a matter of minutes - six to be precise - overturn the score.
The absolute protagonist at the Ethiad stadium is Ilkay Gundogan, who entered the second half for Bernardo Silva and scored two goals.
The first is the prelude to Rodri's network.
So it is still Gundogan to score the goal that is worth overtaking on the Villas, and that is worth overtaking on Steve Gerrard's team.
"The last game is always special, and Aston Villa gave everything - Guardiola's words -. But we are legends: when you win this championship four times you are special. Winning in front of our fans is special, but when we have drawn. I understood that we would win. The importance of this title is measured by the opponent: congratulations to Manchester City because they are a great team. Being in front of them is a source of great pride. "
