The icing on the cake, of course, was winning the title against the old enemy at Ewood Park back in April.
Having been reminded of the club’s unforgettable 2023, Kompany admitted it’s not something he thinks about often enough.
“Do you know what? It’s nice that you mention it because sometimes I forget to reflect on it,” he said.

“Not so long ago there were 60,000 people we shared a moment with in Burnley with a parade. Where we found 60,000 fans I don’t know! But they were there.
“That’s been a part of our year, so I still think you’re always aiming for more in 2024 and setting the bar higher is always the goal.”
