Guardiola’s tearful De Bruyne message and other things spotted in Man City Champions League final film

Manchester City fans may have already watched the Champions League final back multiple times since their triumph in Istanbul, and now they have been given a new behind-the-scenes look.

UEFA has released an 18-minute documentary capturing the build-up, in-game action and post-match celebrations of the night for City fans to relive all over again. The film covers from the press conferences the day before to all the way to the trophy lift and beyond.

A number of moments of interest were spotted during the recording.
