According to Manchester City’s official website, the club’s final home Premier League match of the season—originally expected to serve as Kevin De Bruyne’s farewell at the Etihad—has been postponed due to scheduling conflicts with the FA Cup Final. The match is now set to kick off at 19:00 UTC on May 20.
Manchester City’s FA Cup Final against Crystal Palace is scheduled to kick off at 14:00 UTC on May 17. As a result, the club’s final home game of the season, originally set for 18 May at 18:00 UTC, has been rescheduled to 20 May at 19:00 UTC. This match, against Bournemouth, will mark the farewell of club legend Kevin De Bruyne, who will depart after ten years of service.
This emotionally significant fixture offers City fans, players, and staff a special moment to say goodbye to “King Kevin” and to thank him for everything he has contributed to the club since arriving in the summer of 2015.
