Man City's Kevin De Bruyne was in tears after injury vs Chelsea | OneFootball

Kevin De Bruyne's Champions League final sadly came to an end prematurely.

Just before the hour mark, Manchester City's talisman was involved in a heavy collision with Chelsea defender Antonio Rudiger.

The Belgian came off far worse and it was then decided by City's medical team that the Belgian maestro could not continue playing.

De Bruyne was visibly distraught by the correct decision from those taking care of him, the 29-year-old leaving the pitch at the Estadio do Dragao in tears.

It was hard to watch one of the world's very best players leave the biggest game in club football in such a way.
