Kevin De Bruyne has spoken openly about the emotional prospect of facing Manchester City in the Champions League following his move away from the Etihad.

The Belgian playmaker, who left City this summer after an illustrious career that saw him win multiple Premier League titles and the Champions League, admitted it would feel both fun and strange to line up against his former club.

“I spoke with Manchester City and said that if I stayed in Europe and kept playing in the Champions League I’d probably face City,” De Bruyne revealed.

“It’ll be fun but also a bit strange, because this time I’m on the other side — but City will always be my club, that doesn’t change.”

A City Legend Forever

De Bruyne’s words underline his deep connection with Manchester City, where he established himself as one of the greatest midfielders in Premier League history. His creativity, leadership, and consistency made him the heartbeat of Pep Guardiola’s side for nearly a decade.

Even as he embarks on a new challenge in European football, the 33-year-old insists that his bond with City remains unbreakable.

Possible Champions League Reunion

Should the draw place his new club against Manchester City, it would set up one of the most emotional reunions in recent memory. For City fans, seeing their legend in different colors will undoubtedly be bittersweet.

But for De Bruyne, it represents the next step in a glittering career — while still keeping his love for City intact.

Fan Reactions

Reactions from City supporters online have been filled with love and respect.

“KDB is forever blue, no matter where he plays,” one fan wrote.
Another added: “Facing him will be painful, but he deserves all the respect in the world.”

As the Champions League progresses, eyes will be on the draw to see whether fate brings Kevin De Bruyne back to the Etihad — this time as an opponent.
