  • The Economist.

  • Hello and welcome to The Intelligence from The Economist.

  • I'm Rosie Blau.

  • And I'm Jason Palmer.

  • Today on the show, Russia's grey-zone attacks become more brazen.

  • And they're small, they're cute, and they're going global: Japan's Chiikawa.

  • But first,

  • Manchester City are still alive here.

  • Balotelli... Aguero!

  • Sergio Aguero's 94th-minute goal for Manchester City in 2012

  • is among the greatest moments in football history.

  • It won the Premier League title not just in the dying moments of the game,

  • but of the whole season.

  • That goal has become as infamous as it is famous.

  • Man City is the most successful English team of the past 15 years.

  • Now, an independent commission has found it guilty

  • of breaching over 100 Premier League rules.

  • The legal case against Manchester City is by far the most complicated

  • in the history of English football.

  • Sonny Loughran is a Britain correspondent.
