Real Madrid Could Sign Rodri Despite Him Beating Vinícius to the Ballon d’Or

This Tuesday, May 20, Manchester City will host Bournemouth at the Etihad Stadium in a crucial Matchday 37 fixture of the 2024/25 Premier League season. For Pep Guardiola’s side, this is more than just a must-win game—it’s a battle to secure Champions League qualification in the final stretch of an underwhelming, trophyless campaign.

But beyond the points at stake, the night carries an emotional weight: Kevin De Bruyne will play his final home match as a Manchester City player.

The Farewell of a Legend

After more than a decade of brilliance, Kevin De Bruyne will say goodbye to the Etihad faithful. The Belgian midfielder, widely regarded as one of the greatest players in the club’s history, will depart at the end of the season.

With over 100 goals and 170 assists, the No. 17 has been a driving force behind City’s dominance in English football throughout the Guardiola era.

While Guardiola hasn’t guaranteed him a starting spot, the stadium will undoubtedly be set for a heartfelt tribute to a club icon.

Rodri Returns, but Injuries Linger

In a boost for City, Rodri returns to the squad after eight months out with an ACL injury. However, the injury list still includes John Stones, Nathan Aké, and Oscar Bobb, leaving Guardiola with limited options in key areas.

City are currently on the edge of Champions League qualification, and after losing the FA Cup Final to Crystal Palace, there’s no margin for error.

Bournemouth Aim to Spoil the Party

On the other side, Andoni Iraola’s Bournemouth come into the match with no pressure. Safe from relegation and out of the European race, they’ll be looking to end their season with pride.

And they have history on their side—the Cherries beat City for the first time ever in the reverse fixture earlier this season. Now, they'll aim to repeat the feat and crash De Bruyne’s farewell party.
