Napoli's outrageous decision on De Bruyne

In the early morning of September 19, Man City and Napoli fans were both unhappy to see Kevin De Bruyne leave the field after only 26 minutes at Etihad.

De Bruyne had to leave the field after just 26 minutes.

Man City hosted Napoli in the opening match of the Champions League qualifying round. The legend of "The Citizens", De Bruyne was given the opportunity to face his former team. However, things did not go according to plan when the Belgian midfielder had to leave the field quickly.

In the 21st minute, defender Giovanni Di Lorenzo was sent off after the VAR referee confirmed a foul on Erling Haaland just outside the penalty area. With Napoli down to 10 men, coach Antonio Conte took De Bruyne off the field just 5 minutes later.

The decision angered fans with comments like: "Conte hurt De Bruyne", "Take De Bruyne off, Conte, I will never forgive you". "Decision that even when Napoli had only 10 men, Napoli missed to let De Bruyne change the game".

In the commentary on Sky Italy , journalist Fabio Caressa commented: "De Bruyne deserves an 8/10 for his reaction when he was substituted. Back at Man City, he was substituted after 26 minutes, thanked the audience without any negative reaction."

Both Man City and Napoli fans stood up, clapping and singing De Bruyne’s name as he left the pitch. Di Lorenzo’s red card and De Bruyne’s early exit completely changed the game, with the visitors being broken by Jeremy Doku and Erling Haaland in the second half.

Man City easily won 2-0, in the context of Napoli could not recover. In the next match on October 1, Man City will face Monaco away, while Conte's team will welcome Sporting Lisbon.
