There couldn't be a better game for us to win the league. It will be talked about for generations."<br /><br />Kompany even joined in with a team knee-slide as well as being thrown in the air by his grateful playing squad.<br /><br />He added of the scenes: "I still have a few sprints in me left. I enjoyed it, the season is already intense and this is game 44 for us as well as the cups.<br /><br />"It gets to the point where we're guiding them (the players) but we're also proud of them."
