• 'I came to the club to make history,' says midfielder
• Chairman and owner 'doing incredibly well'
Yaya Touré is setting his sights on sustained success after scoring the two goals against Newcastle United that have propelled Manchester City to the brink of their first league title in 44 years.
"Always I have said this club can go far, this club can win something," said the Ivory Coast midfielder. "Khaldoon [Al Mubarak, the City chairman] and [Sheikh] Mansour [the owner] are doing incredibly well. They have signed big players and they want to make this club a great club, one of the best clubs in Europe, and they are going the right way.
"Last year, we won the FA Cup and we have to continue like that and next week try to win the game against QPR. We know it's going to be tough, but I believe in this team, I believe in the players we have. We have some fantastic players.
"I have always said I came to the club to make history even if some people said I came for different things. I am keeping going to tell them I came to this club to make history, and that is my first objective, to help make the club into a successful football club."
The mathematics for next weekend are straightforward: City simply need to match United's result at Sunderland to lift the title with the two sides locked together on 86 points but with Roberto Mancini's men enjoying a superior goal difference of eight.
However, any slip-up could allow their arch-rivals back into the race, and that is something Touré and his team-mates are determined will not happen.
"Forty-four years is unbelievable," he said. "It is too many years and for the fans and the club it is nice to take three points here. We have one game at home against QPR. That's going to be tough too, but we have one match left to play at home and we have to deliver in this game." Read More
