After being criticized for asking for subsitution in the final, the unexpected message from Kevin De Bruyne

Manchester City finally won the UEFA Champions League for the first time in their history, after beating Inter Milan 1-0, with a goal from Rodri in the second half. However, there is a player who did not finish the game entirely happy, Kevin de Bruyne.

That's right, Belgium's midfielder, Kevin de Bruyne, one of the best players in the world, ended the match 36 minutes into the first half, due to an unexpected injury.
