Kevin De Bruyne’s decisive strike in Manchester City’s narrow 1-0 victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers has kept the club’s Champions League hopes firmly alive-and reminded fans what they’ll soon be missing as the Belgian prepares for his Etihad farewell
In a tense Friday night clash, Wolves rattled the post twice and wasted golden chances, but it was De Bruyne who settled the contest in the 35th minute, finishing off a cutback from Jeremy Doku. The win lifts City to third in the Premier League, with just three games left in the campaign
De Bruyne, 3, confirmed last month that he will leave Manchester City when his contract expires at season’s end. After the match, he admitted surprise that the club chose not to renew his deal, but insisted he’s shown he can still perform at the highest level. “I know I’ve got one game left here, but I just try to do my job like I’ve always done and I did that today,” De Bruyne told Sky Sports
With his Etihad curtain call looming, City fans are left to savor every moment of De Bruyne’s brilliance-while wondering how the team will adapt when their talisman is gone.
