Kevin De Bruyne played in the second Champions League final of his career. And for the second time he was forced off the pitch due to injury. But this time, he was able to lift the trophy. Something to make him smile.
Against Chelsea two years ago, he finished with a fractured cheekbone and left the pitch after 60 minutes. This time, it was his physique that dropped during the duel between City and Inter.
A banal replacement, a slightly pressed sprint and the back of the thigh which was tense. De Bruyne understands immediately. He remains prostrate, sitting on the lawn. After this “alert”, KDB tried hard to continue. But he quickly had to face the facts. Hit in the thigh, he gave up his place in the 35th minute to Phil Foden. The death in the soul.
The maestro de City did not have time to weigh in on the meeting. He sent a pass he has the secret to put Haaland in shooting position. He also unleashed a ranged strike. His face still reddened by the efforts, his eyes moistened with disappointment, the Red Devil took his place on the bench with his teammates. Stunned, annoyed and now helpless.
