Goal takes a look at the three finest performers for the deposed Premier League champion in 2014-15, with Sergio Aguero, Martin Demichelis and David Silva in the running.
Manchester City has endured a tough season. Deposed as Premier League champion, Manuel Pellegrini’s side was dumped out of the Champions League by Barcelona, the FA Cup by Middlesbrough and the League Cup by Newcastle United.
Yet three players have shined. Sergio Aguero, despite his worrying inability to stay fit for long periods, has lit up the Etihad Stadium with a series of superb performances, scoring 31 goals in all competitions and almost single-handedly spearheading what passed for the club’s title charge.
