On a night when “The Boss” rolled to the city, the king's wave “goodbye for the last time.
De Bruyne's face was dressed everywhere I looked at when arriving on the field, and although the legendary American singer Bruce Springstin may have been playing a few yards at AS-OP Live Arena, this is the most ticket today.
The goods' stalls were removed by the De Bruyne, as the supporters of the supporters did, while the Matchday program had models for the player with the crown of the Premier League Cup on his head.
City announced in the previous launch that they were a mosaic and Samio road after De Bruyne at the club academy.
It was also appropriate that the playmaker had created such art on the Canvass grass had drawn a huge mural in the northern quarter of Manchester.
Once the “Oh Kevin De Bruyne” chants faded to Seven Nations, there was a stir from the anticipation every time he was on the ball, ready to show a goal or help for the last time on the grass.
It was not possible to better plan the big moment – the ball was placed on it on a plate, in front of an open goal, two yards, but de Bruyne in a slow movement washed the ball on the bar.
The 33 -year -old had his head in his hands, as did Rodri who returned to the bench and the city's fans everywhere with the end of the dream.
De Bruyne said of Miss: “It is terrible.” “There are no excuses. My son will be very cruel to today.”
In a timely manner, montage for its best moments over the past decade on the screen with messages such as Sergio Aguero, Vincent Kompa, Raeem Steling and Pablo Zabaleeta.
De Bruyne got the honor guard as he returned to the stadium with his wife and children next to him.
Then the flow of passion came.
The former Chelsea man struggled to stick to him during his speech in the middle of the park, as Guardiola did tears watching from the side lines.
“We want you to stay, Kevin de Bruyne, we want you to stay,” was the chanting of supporters, but it seems that there is no return back, as he led his team mates in a bosom of appreciation before going out for the last time.
“It allows football to talk about the words. He is a shy person but I was meeting him over the years and I see how humble is and how great is a great player, it is a great thing to see,” said the former defender in the city, Mika Richards.
“He was worth sending him. Everyone who played with him is talking about him strongly, and he does what one in the Premier League is just an exciting.”
