During Manchester City’s Champions League celebrations, Kevin De Bruyne caused confusion among fans as he was seen wearing a Sheffield Wednesday kit.
City achieved a remarkable treble on Saturday, June 10, by claiming the European trophy for the first time in the club’s history in Istanbul.
In the final against Inter Milan, City emerged as European champions with a 1-0 victory. According to BBC, Rodri’s goal in the second half proved to be the decisive factor in securing the historic win.
The victory sparked wild celebrations from the Man City camp that later spilled over into the dressing room.
De Bruyne in Sheffield kit
But one peculiar thing from the celebrations that left fans confused was De Bruyne’s decision to sport a Sheffield Wednesday kit.
While everyone else was donning Man City attire, the Belgian playmaker opted for the second-tier side’s shirt from the ’90s.
The Mirror claims that the midfielder may have worn the shirt due to his wife’s ties with the club.
The publication claims De Bruyne’s wife, Michele, is good friends with the partner of former Wednesday captain, Glenn Loovens, so much so that Loovens was spotted in Istanbul interacting with Man City fans during the final.
