Man City 1 Wolves 0: De Bruyne follows in Messi’s footsteps with a city goal

Let’s be honest, nobody had ever seriously expected that he would go quietly, right?

If you have been a big sound in Etihad for ten years, it will not be Hush -Hush -separation from the last curtain call.

Because for everyone Kevin De Bruyne has never fueled the headlines with tirades or explosions outside the field, he has made a lot on the field with flashes of genius for Man City.

Like Friday evening, for example, where he became a member Lionel Messi As the only player who reaches 250 target statements under Pep Guardiola.

And so an evening that started with fans amazed by Pep’s recognition, he can stop when his contract is here, ended with all eyes on a man who is definitely about to be.

Not out of choice, albeit. The decade of De Bruyne like an Etihad -loving to end because his manager chose not to offer him a new deal when it goes.

But the sad fact increasingly takes the fans who alienate the Belgian so that he will certainly be the next with a statue is that the sand from time drips away.

And De Bruyne, who plays his penultimate game in the stadium that he has mentioned at home since 2015, certainly creates the old saying to go out and want them more.

A few weeks ago it was by scoring one and making three others in a five-star, five-goal win on FA Cup final opponents Crystal Palace.

Against wolves it was with the deliberate, silk foot – although light written – more open that broke the stalemate in a turgid game.

The headline act in a Down-Bill display by Guardiola’s Fallen Champions, who somehow have received a different final that they have to win to close a top five.

To be honest, there was a precious sign that they did this until De Bruyne bounced ten minutes before the break, while the city made its way and really didn’t spit anywhere.

The fans who stayed away for the first six minutes, in protest on the number of years it has been since an increase in the available season tickets, missed nothing.

Not in terms of edge-of-the-chair raids from the Champions from the past four years, but now not sure of a Champions League-placed finish.

Indeed, the first serious wolves should have put first, when Jean-Ricner Bellegarde hit the offside trap a garden in the city.

He could have shooted, but took the safer option to squadrate for Marshall Munetsi to tap into an empty net.

Well, at least it should have been the safer option. But Bellegarde Overhit the delivery, a stretching Munetsi would not have achieved it with extended legs and the chance had disappeared.

A slap in the face that stung city in action? Well, it was the spark for an even closer call … but again created by those in old gold, not sky blue.

Matheus Cunha can regularly trade in Manchester in the next period, when United pushes the boat out and makes him the selection frame of the summer where they go to crazy.

But he gave a glimpse of what they had expected with an oblique eruption in the box that ended with the ball that was friendly to Rayan Ait-Nouri.

The first attempt by the Algerijns came back from the foot of the post, but his second of the rebound entered until Josko Gvardiol took away.

Finally, finally stumbled City in top equipment, Nico O’Reilly stung Jose Sa’s fingertips with a rising ride.

And then, 35 minutes, the moment they all wanted … they all praised that it would be.

The Quickstep explosion of Jeremy Doku brought him to the name rule before he deliberately withdrew it for the Ginger Genius.

De Bruyne has much sharper attacks on his decade as an etihad -but he still thought it was just despite the fact that he first bumped. Almost a bump-ball goal, you could say.

Yet they all count and after a first half that was hardly, the city was hardly, City was quite happy to take it.

Not that it once looked like opening locks, or slightly close by. There were still too many closed calls for that.

Nothing more than cunha’s out-of-the-blue snapshot that rattled upright

In the end, City hung, however, while their fans showed Guardiola what they thought of him by chasing his name louder and longer than ever in the final phase.

Mind you, nothing like the ear splitting they gave to De Bruyne when he took his bow for five minutes from the end.

With good reason too. They didn’t have to tell who she had taken out of the You-Know-What.
