Manchester City Commission Special Statue For De Bruyne

Manchester City are to honour Kevin De Bruyne’s incredible decade of service to the Club by commissioning a special statue celebrating the midfielder’s magnificent Etihad career.
The news was confirmed immediately after Tuesday night’s penultimate Premier League clash of the 2024/25 season at home to Bournemouth which marked the 33-year-old’s final Etihad appearance for the Club.
After a success laden 10 years at City, during which time he played more than 400 games, helping the Club win 19 major trophies, De Bruyne will be moving on in the summer.
A passionate Etihad full house paid their own moving salute and tributes to one of the Club’s greatest-ever players both before, during and after the Cherries clash.
And speaking immediately after what was an emotion-charged evening with Matchday Live presenter Natalie Pike, De Bruyne revealed how proud and honoured he was at being afforded such a special tribute in the form of a statue.
“It means I will always be part of this club,” he said.
“Whenever I come back with family and friends, I will be able to see myself so I will always be here.”

As well as the confirmation of the statue, as part of a special on-field ceremony following the final whistle, Kevin was also presented with a special framed shirt signed by all of team-mates and staff along with a lifetime City Season Card while a special video tribute was played on the Etihad big screen.
In being afforded the honour of having a statue commissioned in his name, De Bruyne will follow in the illustrious footsteps of a number of other totemic City players who have also been recognised for their seismic contributions to the Club.
In 2021, two iconic statues were unveiled outside the Etihad in celebration of former captain Vincent Kompany, and midfield marvel David Silva, both of whom played such a defining part in helping to establish City as one of the game’s pre-eminent forces across more than a decade.
That was then followed in 2022 by another celebratory statue, this time to Sergio Aguero, in recognition of the Club’s all-time record goal scorer whose famous 93:20 strike secured City’s first-ever Premier League title in 2012.
City’s rich history was then further acknowledged in 2023 by what was our latest statue, this time in honour of iconic trio Mike Summerbee, Francis Lee and Colin Bell which recognised the 30 years’ combined service the legendary three gave to City from the 1960s onwards.
Now De Bruyne will see his own enormous recognition across the past 10 years honoured in perpetuity with his own richly deserved statue.

Earlier in what was a day filled with enormous emotion and gratitude; Kevin was present at a ceremony at the CFA where a special mosaic honouring his enormous contribution to the Club was unveiled by City Chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak.
Kevin’s mosaic was also the latest in a series of such moving tributes to City legends, Yaya Toure, Joe Hart, David Silva, Vincent Kompany, Sergio Aguero, Fernandinho and Ilkay Gundogan.

Arsenal 1-1 Manchester City: Martinelli Strikes Late to Deny Guardiola’s Men

Arsenal and Manchester City shared the spoils in a tense Premier League encounter at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday, as Gabriel Martinelli’s stoppage-time strike salvaged a 1-1 draw for the Gunners. The result leaves Arsenal unbeaten against City in recent meetings, but both sides may feel they missed a chance to make a strong statement in the title race.
City made the brighter start and struck in just the ninth minute. Tijjani Reijnders launched a rapid counterattack, combining with Erling Haaland, who finished with trademark precision past David Raya to give the visitors the lead. Arsenal, by contrast, struggled for rhythm in the first half, finding it difficult to break down City’s compact shape while also leaving themselves vulnerable on the break.
The second half saw a shift in momentum. Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta introduced Bukayo Saka and Eberechi Eze, whose energy and creativity tilted the game in the home side’s favour. Arsenal pressed higher, dominated possession, and carved out opportunities, but City goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma stood firm, making key saves to frustrate the Gunners. Pep Guardiola’s side, meanwhile, chose to sit deep and protect their narrow lead, sacrificing attacking intent in favour of defensive organisation.
Just when it seemed City’s resilience would deliver all three points, Arsenal struck back in dramatic fashion. In the third minute of stoppage time, Eze’s long ball released Martinelli, who kept his composure to lob Donnarumma and send the Emirates into raptures. The goal secured a deserved point for Arsenal, who had pressed relentlessly in search of an equaliser.
The result leaves Arsenal on 10 points from five matches, while City sit on seven. For Arsenal, the draw was a relief but also a reminder of the fine margins in top-level contests. For City, the late concession underscored lingering questions about their ability to maintain control when defending a lead. Both teams, however, remain firmly in the early title picture, and Sunday’s clash offered a glimpse of the intensity likely to define the race ahead.

Ghana won their heat and advanced to the World Athletics Championships’ 4×100 Men’s Relay Race finals by dominating the field.

Japan, the host nation, qualified for the finals by finishing third in 38.07 seconds, while the Netherlands came in second in 37.95 seconds.
The race was dramatic, and the finalists, South Africa, Northern Ireland, and Great Britain, did not make it to the finals because they did not finish the race.
