How The Magic Was Done
Thousands of City fans streamed on to the pitch at the final whistle to mob their heroes, with some wielding flares that billowed blue smoke across the scenes of celebration. It had looked as though Liverpool would be crowned champions for the first time in 24 years when they beat City on April 13, but a consistent run of form from City, who had games in hand, delivered them another title.

In the end, a 2-0 home defeat to Chelsea on April 27 and two dropped points against Crystal Palace last Monday saw them stumble at the final hurdle.

It means City add the Premier League to the Capital One Cup, won when they beat Sunderland at Wembley back in March.

Speaking after Kompany had lifted the trophy to rapturous noise, Pellegrini said: 'It was very special, it is my first year here in England and it has now been easy. I think that I manage a great group of players and great fans.

‘We were the best team in the Premier League. It was a very special season for us, we were hardly never top, we had games postponed. But the players believed in me. It's a very special group.

'I must be calm during the game because I have to make decisions. And over the whole year, there have been lots of difficult moments.

'The players always believed what I told them. To play the way I like, because that is what football must be like in a great team.'

City won the title despite topping the table for a grand total of 14 days this season but Pellegrini was unconcerned by that statistic and immediately set his sights on further silverware next season.

'I think this team cannot be satisfied with just one title,' he said. 'We have two titles this year. We will celebrate today and on Monday. On Tuesday, we will start to prepare for next year.'

Captain Kompany echoed Pellegrini's comments about building a dynasty in the blue half of Manchester.

The Belgian defender said: 'This team has more than just talent, it has heart and soul to it.

'I'm prepared for anything in football - if I win, I celebrate, if I lose, I get on with it. I'm extremely happy and whenever we do well I'm happy for this club and the fans.

'Everything this season is a credit to how we prepare for every game.'

He added: 'Forget about the money, forget about everything, as a six-year-old, all you dream about is lifting trophies. I feel like I'm achieving that dream doing this.

'We are building a club, not just a team that wins trophies every now and again. The past is the past but the future makes me excited to be here. If we want to be a big club,this has to be the first of many.'

Nasri told Sky Sports that the spirit among the City team was the key to their title triumph.

'The atmosphere in the dressing room been really fantastic this year,' said the France midfielder.

'We were behind at some points but we always believed. The game with Chelsea at Liverpool was the twist of the season.'

A delighted Joe Hart, meanwhile, paid tribute to Pellegrini, who has two winners' medals from his first season in English football.

'He's a winner, he wants us to win,' Hart said of his manager on Sky Sports 1. 'He is a measured man and he believes in what he does. We came strong at the end, we won the games we needed to. We are all winners, strong personalities.'

Pablo Zabaleta said: 'Every single person who works for this club is trying to make this club bigger. It is a mentality to work, the players show commitment and loyalty and they have been brilliant.

'It is another trophy and we know how special the Premier League is. To finish like this is fantastic, amazing. We'll work more to bring more success to this club.'
