📸 Man City legend spotted buying new kits at the Etihad Stadium | OneFootball

Former Manchester City captain Vincent Kompany made a heartwarming return to familiar ground on Tuesday afternoon, as he was spotted at the City Store outside the Etihad Stadium purchasing Manchester City kits for his children.

The moment, captured by photographer Matt James Kerr and shared by City Report on X (formerly Twitter), quickly garnered attention among fans. Kompany, now the head coach of Bayern Munich, appeared relaxed and cheerful as he browsed the club merchandise — a subtle nod to his lasting connection with the club where he became a legend.

Kompany captained City through one of the most successful eras in their history, winning four Premier League titles, two FA Cups, and four League Cups between 2008 and 2019. His thunderous goal against Leicester City in the 2018–19 title run-in remains etched in the memory of supporters.

Despite his coaching commitments in Germany, Kompany’s presence at the Etihad – even just as a dad picking up shirts – underlines the deep affection he still holds for Manchester City. It's a touching reminder that for all the trophies and glory, football remains a family affair.
