After the "Blue Moon" Manchester City defeated the "Cherries" Bournemouth in the 37th round of the Premier League this season, De Bruyne's career in Manchester City will come to an end. The Belgian star said that playing with his teammates in Manchester City is a very wonderful journey.

After goals from Marmouche, Bernardo Silva and Nico Gonzalez, Manchester City beat Bournemouth 3-1 in this key match, and this was also the last time De Bruyne played as a Manchester City player at the Etihad Stadium.

De Bruyne, 33, has won six Premier League titles, two FA Cups, five League Cups and one Champions League during his many years at Manchester City.

Talking about the feeling of playing at the Etihad Stadium for the last time, De Bruyne shared, "It feels a bit strange actually, it's incredible to have spent 10 extraordinary years here and everything I've experienced. It's been a wonderful journey and a great honor. I hope to bring joy to people and play good football and be creative, which is who I am on the pitch. I hope to enjoy football and I think we have had a really good time in these 10 years."

“Of course there are wins and losses sometimes, but I am extremely proud to have given my all to this club and to have created something better than before. Life and career is a journey, there are ups and downs, but you have to experience all the moments to really enjoy them. I enjoyed every moment and learned a lot from the downs. It was a great experience.”

De Bruyne also said, "I'm really moved. This is already my home. Several of my children were born here, and I moved here with my wife. I didn't expect to stay here for 10 years, but we have won everything. Everyone in the club is constantly motivating me to be the best version of myself. They make me stronger than before. It has been an absolute honor to play with these players over the years."

"The City fans have been so welcoming to me from the start and it's hard to describe how grateful I am to see almost the entire stadium full of support for me and my family."
