Kevin De Bruyne insists his career will not be defined by whether he wins the Champions League but accepts Manchester City’s legacy would be strengthened by victory in Istanbul.
Pep Guardiola’s imperious team can complete a Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League treble by beating Internazionale on Saturday, when City could become champions of Europe for the first time.
De Bruyne admits City would gain greater recognition as one of the finest sides in the game by lifting the trophy but believes his own reputation will not be shaped by one final.
The Belgium international said: “It depends who you ask [whether City’s status rests on winning the Champions League]. Most of the guys have been incredible anyway.
