Best defending moments?

[Whitty1001]

Any moments from your time watching city that stand out as great moments of defending? E.g. stones clearance v Liverpool etc...

 

[Spurs quarter 69]

I would nominate second half against PSG at home in last season's semi. Best ever last twenty minutes against Liverpool under Reid. Think it was 91 desperately holding on to 2 1 lead night match first home game of the season. Don't know how we kept them out atmosphere incredible one of the famous non European nights at Maine Rd.

Obvious recent one: Rodri’s tackle on Fabinho when the he had a seemingly open goal.

Mangala debut Vs Chelsea- the whole game is a moment because he never reached those heights again

Not city but I remember always being mesmerised by an Italian defender doing a bicycle kick off the line in the 90s. Used to be on the opening credits of channel 4 Italian football.

city related Kyle Walker the other year in charity shield was good.

Obvious recent one: Rodri’s tackle on Fabinho when the he had a seemingly open goal.

The best bit of that for me was the look on Dick VanDyke's face as he started to celebrate and Rodder's came out of nowhere and pissed on his chips.

Joey against Dortmund in the CL was one of the best goalkeeping/one man defensive rearguards I have ever seen

if were talking goalkeepers too
Dibble v Villa 1990
Weaver v Ipswich 1999
Hart @Spurs 2010

I still reckon he just swept up while Kompany and Costa had a gigantic physical battle.
I didn't get carried away with Mangala that day and so it proved quite quickly afterwards
