City slipped eight points behind Manchester United after losing at Arsenal last month and Khaldoon has praised boss Roberto Mancini's role in inspiring his side's fightback to snatch the crown.
"We had two choices," he said. "We could either raise the white flag and sulk or pick ourselves up and fight until the last second of this championship.
"I remember going down to the dressing room thinking we were not giving up. Something inside me said there was more to it.
"I had a conversation with Roberto. We both looked at each other and decided to take the pressure off everyone.
"We felt if we could win all our games and have a bit of luck, we could still pull it off.
"What Roberto did magnificently was to take the pressure off the entire team.
"Roberto is a winner. We have achieved our objective and won the league and a lot of credit for that must go to his managerial skills.
"We have had to improve in a very dramatic manner. Now we have a nucleus. To improve further we have to harness that nucleus."
