ISTANBUL (AP) — Manchester City playmaker Kevin De Bruyne’s Champions League final came to an early end — again. Injured with so much of the game still left to play just like in 2021. But this time it did not matter. Two years ago he sustained facial injuries after 58 minutes in a 1-0 loss to Chelsea. On Saturday Man City got the job done without their inspirational playmaker and is European champion for the first time. Man City beat Inter Milan 1-0 while De Bruyne watched from the bench where he went in the 36th minute when the game was goalless.
