Why De Bruyne Wore Jersey From Different Club During UCL Celebrations

• Kevin De Bruyne was part of Manchester City's history-making squad that won the Champions League in Istanbul
• While the Belgian had to be subbed off in the first half with a hamstring injury, he was still able to join his teammates for celebrations
• Bizarrely, De Bruyne opted to wear a Sheffield Wednesday jersey from the '90s as he joined the City contingent in celebration in the dressing room

Kevin De Bruyne left fans confused after he was spotted wearing a Sheffield Wednesday kit during Manchester City's Champions League celebrations.

City completed a historic treble on Saturday night, June 10, when they secured the European trophy for the very first time in Istanbul.

The English giants were crowned European champions after they beat Inter Milan 1-0 in the final.

BBC reports that Rodri's solitary second-half strike was the only difference in the tie as City marched to a historic win.

The victory sparked wild celebrations from the Man City camp that later spilled over into the dressing room.

But one peculiar thing from the celebrations that left fans confused was De Bruyne's decision to sport a Sheffield Wednesday kit.

While everyone else was donning Man City attire, the Belgian playmaker opted for the second-tier side's shirt from the '90s.

The Mirror claims that the midfielder may have worn the shirt due to his wife's ties with the club.

The publication claims De Bruyne's wife, Michele, is good friends with the partner of former Wednesday captain, Glenn Loovens, so much so that Loovens was spotted in Istanbul interacting with Man City fans during the final.
