In a recent episode of The Overlap Fan Debate, Manchester United legend Wayne Rooney had fans and fellow footballer Jamie Carragher doubled over with laughter thanks to his candid take on Sergio Aguero's legendary goal that clinched the title for Manchester City in 2012.

A Moment for the Ages

Aguero's dramatic last-minute goal on the final day of the 2011-12 Premier League season is etched in football lore. It completed a stunning comeback for City, who were trailing 2-1 against QPR until the dying moments when they turned the tide to win 3-2, snatching the title from their fierce rivals, Manchester United, on goal difference.

Rooney’s Blunt Take

When a fan asked Rooney about Aguero's unforgettable strike, the former striker initially appeared deadpan, offering no immediate response—a move that had Carragher and the audience roaring with laughter. After a moment, he deadpanned, 'Obviously that was a tough one.'

Breaking Down the Drama

Rooney didn't just stop at humor; he dissected the chaotic events of that day. He recalled how QPR was content after securing their safety, with players like Djibril Cisse on the pitch and Joey Barton sent off for a reckless act, leaving City an opening to seize the moment.

Carragher's Witty Comeback

In response to Rooney's analysis, Carragher couldn't resist teasing him further, quipping, 'So, you've got over it?' Rooney jokingly replied, 'That should have been looked into.' Carragher seized the moment, saying, 'It's not just 115 now it's 116. That's the headline: "Wayne Rooney wants Manchester City looked into for the QPR game."'

A Legal Blow for Manchester City

Adding a twist to this playful banter, City is currently engulfed in a legal battle with the Premier League over 130 charges linked to alleged financial rule breaches, which are under scrutiny as they eagerly await the outcome. Rooney's comments certainly came at an interesting time, reflecting ongoing tensions in the football world.

A Previously Unforgettable Moment

This isn't the first time Rooney has expressed his thoughts on Aguero's title-securing goal—he previously described the events leading up to it as 'strange.' Fans love to relive the tension of that day, and Rooney's amusing commentary just adds to the lore.
