“Etihad Erupts as Kevin De Bruyne Plays His Final Home Game for Manchester City”

Kevin De Bruyne was given an emotional farewell at the Etihad Stadium during his final home game for Manchester City. The 33-year-old Belgian playmaker will depart the club after 10 years of service.
De Bruyne began his career at Genk, making his professional debut at the age of 17 in 2008. He helped the club win the Belgian Pro League in the 2010–2011 season. He signed for Chelsea in 2012 but was loaned back to Genk and later to Werder Bremen. He struggled to get playing time under José Mourinho at Chelsea and was eventually sold to Wolfsburg.

At Wolfsburg, he impressed, and the midfielder was signed by Manchester City in August 2015. There, he became a key figure under Pep Guardiola, thanks to his exceptional playmaking skills. However, as the saying goes, there is a time to say welcome and a time to say goodbye. Due to his reduced ability to consistently perform at the highest level because of age, Manchester City decided not to renew his contract. The player announced he would leave the club as a free agent at the end of the season.

During his time at Manchester City, "King Kev" made 421 appearances, scoring:

Goals: 108

Assists: 177


In the Premier League specifically, he recorded 72 goals and 119 assists, placing him second on the all-time Premier League assists list, behind only Ryan Giggs.

He won 16 major trophies, including six Premier League titles, five League Cups, two FA Cups, one Champions League, a UEFA Super Cup, and a FIFA Club World Cup.

He played his final home game against Bournemouth, where he was given a guard of honor, with fans chanting his name. A tribute video was also played to honor the City legend. In recognition of his legacy, Manchester City announced plans to erect a statue outside the Etihad Stadium.

Kevin De Bruyne, however, has no intention of retiring despite leaving City. He has stated that he feels he can continue playing at the top level, although a decision about his future club has yet to be made.
