“Manchester City” coach Josep Guardiola shared heartfelt thoughts about the match against “Bournemouth” (3:1) in the 37th round of the Premier League and Kevin De Bruyne's contribution to it. This match was likely the last for the live legend at the “Etihad” stadium, making it an emotional evening for both the fans and the team.
“There are things that cannot be bought. Kevin has earned endless respect and love for what he has done for the club over the years. It was his night, and we really wanted to make it unforgettable,” said Guardiola.
He continued: “Just a few days ago, he played for 100 minutes in the FA Cup final. That is not easy physically or psychologically. Unfortunately, he couldn't capitalize on the best opportunity in the match; otherwise, it would have been a perfect ending for him.”
The 33-year-old Belgian midfielder has been representing “City” since 2015. During this time, he has won with the team:
- 6 times the Premier League,
- 2 times the FA Cup,
- 5 times the League Cup,
- 3 times the Super Cup,
and, most importantly, the Champions League, proving himself on the international stage as well.
After the final whistle, Kevin shook the stadium: the stands trembled with his name, and he said a heartfelt goodbye to the fans. This confirmed that it is not just a professional relationship between the team and the player, but a true love story.
The Zamin.uz editorial team will continue to follow De Bruyne's fate and potential future chapters at “City” during this historic moment. Do you think this was Kevin's last dance at the “Etihad”?
