The right-back was still an Arsenal player when Aguero delivered the Blues' first title in 44 years in the most dramatic of circumstances, but it clearly left a lasting impression
That would surely rank alongside their previous exploits but Sagna, with the League Cup already in the bag and the motivation that brings, sees no reason it cannot be done.
"They have done it in the past," he adds, "but second of all I see the guys training every day, I spend some time with the guys and everybody is extra motivated to come back. We have the taste of winning a trophy recently and we want to do it again and celebrate with the fans.
"We have won one trophy, we're still involved in two other competitions, the league and the Champions League. We want to do well and we are keen to do it. If we turn up, we can do it."
There is a long list of reasons put forward for City's travails this season. A fragility in defence without the injury-beset Vincent Kompany, Yaya Toure's inconsistent performances, the sheer number of injuries in recent weeks, to name just a few, have all been blamed by fans and media alike.
Sagna has become a mainstay in the defence, and has been one of City's most consistent performers this season, and if anybody is qualified to judge their frailty at the back it is the Frenchman. But he insists he has not noticed any difference between when captain Kompany plays and when he is on the sidelines.
"I didn't think about it to be fair," he insists. "Every time I play I think about doing my job properly. Of course we have had a bad period, but with or without Vincent everyone has a role to play in that team.
"From the minute we play for that team we have to give our maximum and perform. Every time we lost we just didn't perform well as a team, or maybe we were not wise enough at some times."
But it is seemingly not as simple as making a few tweaks here and there in this most "weird" of seasons.
"Obviously we would have changed something, but it's just the way it is. I think it's a weird season for City, at the minute, but we still have one cup, we're still involved in two competitions, we can still come back to challenge Leicester for the title. Out of everything it's still a positive season. Even if it doesn't seem as exciting as it was, it is.
"It is a weird season! For everyone it's a weird season, because everybody drops points. Nobody expected Leicester to be on top today, and they are. But the league changes quickly, you can go from first spot to fourth, from fourth to tenth. It changes so quickly, we still have time to come back."
It may not be the ideal way for Sagna to win his first league title, but it would be entirely in keeping with this modern brand of 'Typical City'. He knew what he signed up for.
