Kevin De Bruyne is 31 years old, five days from the end of his extraordinary career by conquering what will be the first Champions League of his career, but the brilliant Belgian midfielder for Manchester City believes his legacy is not will be determined by the result. of Saturday’s final against Inter in Istanbul.
De Bruyne won five Premier League titles, two FA Cups, five League Cups and a Community Shield with City, but European success eluded him after Chelsea’s final defeat in 2021 at Porto (1-0 ).
“It depends on who you ask, but 90 minutes doesn’t define a race,” said De Bruyne. “I’m almost 700 games. About 90 minutes in 700 games does not define my career. But it definitely helps.”
After winning the fifth Premier League in the last six seasons, City beat Manchester United in the FA Cup final (2-1) on Saturday and now for the treble.
“Inter are not in the final because they beat easy teams”
De Bruyne saw the Champions League final like this. “I hope we can perform to the best of our ability… Inter is a very good team and the finals is 50-50. It’s always difficult. You have to manage these moments. Inter have great players and we respect them. They’ re not in the final due to losing to easy teams.”
