Kevin De Bruyne concluded his illustrious career at the Etihad Stadium with a 3-1 victory over Bournemouth. The decorated captain, who has won 16 trophies since joining the team in 2015, described the experience as 'weird.' While he missed a close-range chance, De Bruyne received a heartfelt send-off including a post-game guard of honour amid chants from fans. The club has announced plans to erect a statue in his honor, emphasizing his significant contributions and enduring legacy at Manchester City, especially despite recent injury struggles.
"[It feels] a bit weird. It's been an unbelievable ride," De Bruyne said after the match. "I want to bring joy to people, play offensive football..."
"To have almost a full stadium supporting my family and me says everything," De Bruyne said. "Who can have 50,000 people waiting for you to say goodbye? Itâs indescribable."
