De Bruyne back after suffering
The belgian star sees the "Skyblues" success from the bench for the first time since his injury break
Manchester City is focused in the last home game of 2023. Kevin de Bruyne sees the Skyblues' success from the bench for the first time since his injury break.
Manchester City first presented its fans with its five trophies - then the club world champions in the Premier League set out to chase league leaders Liverpool.
The Skyblues defeated league bottom team
Sheffield United 2-0 (1-0) in the last game of an extremely successful year and took third place in the table with
40 points from 19 games. Only
Liverpool and Aston Villa (3-2 against Burnley FC) still have two points more.
De Bruyne celebrates squad comeback
Before kick-off, five silver trophies stood on the Etihad Stadium pitch. In addition to the championship, FA Cup and Club World Cup, City had also won the Champions League and the UEFA Super Cup. In addition to the titles and triumphs, the fans also celebrated Kevin de Bruyne, who was back in the squad for the first time after a long injury break. However, the Belgian top star did not make a comeback on the pitch.
The goals from Rodri (14th) and Julian Alvarez (61st) ensured a relaxed afternoon against guests with no chance, which is why Pep Guardiola didn't have to take any risks. De Bruyne could now make his competitive comeback in the FA Cup match against Huddersfield (January 7th).
The ten-man played his last competitive game on the first Premier League matchday against Burnley, where he had to be substituted in the 23rd minute due to a thigh injury.
