WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>De Bruyne captained the team on his farewell appearance at the Etihad Stadium and was welcomed by a huge 'King Kev' tifo from fans. The midfielder then took to the pitch after the match with his wife and three children for a special tribute. He was presented with a special City shirt with his name and number, his own season ticket for life, and the club also announced plans to build a statute of the midfielder outside the Etihad Stadium.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>He told supporters at the stadium: "Manchester is home. Manchester is where these little kids are born. I came here with my wife, Michele, to stay here for a long time. I didn’t expect to be here 10 years to do what we have as a club, supporters, my teammates. We won everything. We made the city, the club bigger. Now they’re going to take over. I wanted to play with creativity, I wanted to play with passion. I wanted to enjoy football and I hope and think everyone enjoyed it. Everybody here has pushed me so hard from inside and outside the club to be the best version of myself. It’s been an absolute honour to play with these guys. I’ve made so many friends for life."</p>

WHAT DE BRUYNE SAID

<p>Manchester City's win propelled Guardiola's team into third place in the table ahead of the final round of fixtures. De Bruyne's final City game will come against Fulham at Craven Cottage on Sunday.</p>
