“We have built a great future for you, comrades.”

Kevin de Bruyne presented an emotional goodbye to Al -Ittihad after his final appearance at his home in Manchester City on Tuesday.

De Bruyne City will leave at the end of the season and have been honored by his teammates after City assisted 3-1 over Bournemouth, who put them in the Champions League qualifications.

The Belgium International, who won 14 major prizes in a 10 -year talisman with City, was played, a video clip of a greeting from a group of former city colleagues, his wife and three children, who joined him on the field to say goodbye to the fans.

In addressing the crowd, De Bruyne was reflected in the legacy he leaves while explaining what the club and the city mean to him and his family.

“Manchester is at home, Manchester is the place where these young children were born,” he said. “I came here with my wife, Michelle, to stay for a long time, I did not expect to be 10 years here. To do what we did as a club, supporters and teammates we won everything. We have made the city larger, and now they will take responsibility.

“I wanted to play creatively, I wanted to play with passion. I wanted to enjoy passion and I hope everyone can enjoy it. Everyone pushed me strongly inward and outside the club to be the best version of myself and these men, everyone we see on the screen and that these men in front of me have made me better than me.

“This team tries to entertain people and win. This team is working incredibly hardly behind the scenes and on the field. This team will win in the future, with or dunk, and everyone in the city, supporters, will be behind the team as they did with me during the past ten years. This team will definitely be successful.

“You just want to work well and win, then when you win, you want to win more. You want to pay the city and we had five/six marches and it was amazing to witness everything that is going on in the city. All the moments with these in the team were a lot of count. It was my pleasure.”

The fans, who photographed de Bruyne with chants named throughout the evening, added de Bruyne: “They were very welcome from the beginning. You have almost a full stadium that supports my family and says everything.

“This means that I will always be part of this club,” De Bruyne said about this honor.

“I always represent a small part of it, and whenever I return with these men and with family and friends, I will be able to see myself standing around the field. I will always be here.

“I think the best way to describe my life with my wife and three children is that we are perfectly fit. We understand where the club came and why the club means many people.

“We have together built a great future for you, comrades, for the club to perform the way this club will perform. I know this was a difficult year for us, but I think the team deserves all support from you, comrades.

“I know they are pushing heavily and this team will return next year to pressure all titles, so they deserve it.

“I think after 10 years, it is time for the time that I allowed me to talk a little and it’s time to say goodbye. I will return, but we love you and see you soon.”
