Guardiola’s Superstar Saga…

Once upon a foggy Friday, Pep “The Tinkerman” Guardiola lavished poetic odes on Kevin “The Belgian Baguette” De Bruyne, praising him like a prized painting in an art gallery. Yet come Sunday, our hero was benched at Wembley, left to cheer with the squirrel mascots. Such is life in Planet City, where the rotation wheel spins like a carnival ride on caffeine – one minute you’re center stage, the next minute you’re a spectator!

Kevin “The Magician” was itching for action, determined to play football until the final whistle of eternity. But Pep, always the grand conductor, wanted to orchestrate multiple curtain calls for our maestro before he jets off like a footballing vagabond. Alas, Wembley was not to be the stage for an epic performance, much to De Bruyne’s own disbelief. As his footballing fate dangles on the strings of destiny, one must wonder if he’s more puppet than protagonist at City these days.

Fear not, loyal Citizens! The narrative twists are plenty as De Bruyne’s farewell tour is shrouded in mystery thicker than a roadside burger. Legendary like Atlantis, yet elusive as a winning lottery ticket, this farewell show promises more drama than a soap opera! Whether or not he’s crowned at Wembley or remembered with confetti and teary-eyed glory lies in the hands of Pep’s selection shenanigans. Will our beloved Belgian bow out with a storybook ending or fade into the misty Etihad nights? Stay tuned, footy fans, because this comic strip football saga ain’t over yet!
