Nevertheless, the Etihad -believers, greeted the missed opportunity by applauding their hero and it seemed that De Bruyne still had enough time to add a finishing touch to his career in the stadium.

That hope was crushed in the 67th minute when Kovacic was sent because he had taken Evanilson as the last man.

Guardiola could not afford to be sentimental with Man City, only 2-0 up and the qualification of the Champions League on the line. And so the Spanish coach called De Bruyne to be replaced by Nico Gonzalez to the disappointment of the home crowd.

And so, with waves to the crowd, hugs for his teammates and songs of the crowd, the Etihad career of De Bruyne came to an end.

Strikes from Omar Marmoush, Bernardo Silva and Gonzalez saw City claiming a comfortable victory, despite the stopping time consolation goal of Daniel Jebbison for Bournemouth.
