Kevin De Bruyne's wife Michele stole the show while he said goodbye to Manchester City.
Michele, 31, sent her husband an emotional message after Tuesday evening's 3-1 victory over Bournemouth in the Etihad.
The game marked De Bruyne's last home game after a decade of trophy decadence.
And even manager Pep Guardiola turns tears while a tribute was paid to De Bruyne, 33, by teammates in the past and present in a presentation after the game.
The Belgian was accompanied by his three children – Mason, Nine, Rome, Acht and Suri, five.
And wife Michele also stayed on the De Bruyne side during an emotional evening for all those present.
But then she brought her own personal tribute to De Bruyne on Instagram.
Belgian Michele, who met her husband in 2014, posted a moving photo that stared at her in her partner's eyes.
And she also nodded to the city, where De Bruyne won six titles and the Champions League 2023, in a heart -warming caption.
Michele, who married De Bruyne in 2017, wrote: “Forever Home.”

Fans responded with pleasure, with someone who said, “Incredible Story, Incredible Team.”
Another stated: “We will miss you, royal family.”
They noted: “What a family, we will miss you so much.”
Another added: “Great, good luck for you and the family.”
Thoughts now inevitably turn to the next club of De Bruyne, where the experienced playmaker shows that he has what is needed to cut it at the highest level.
It was thought that he would be interested in different rivals of the city.
But potential Serie A champions Napoli now seems to be in pole position after De Bruyne is said to be excluded in England.
Speaking after his last game, the icon brought to Manchester and insisted that it will always be 'at home'.
De Bruyne said: “Manchester is at home, Manchester is where these small children were born.
“I came here with my wife, Michelle, to stay long, I didn't expect to be ten years old here.
“To do what we have done as a club, supporters, teammates, we won everything.”
