Manchester City were dealt an early blow in the Champions League final against Inter after Kevin De Bruyne had to be substituted due to injury in a repeat of the 2021 final.
The Belgian went down off the ball holding his hamstring on 33 minutes with Pep Guardiola sending Phil Foden out to warm up as a precaution. The playmaker lasted another three minutes but signalled he needed to be replaced after overhitting a cross.
It resembled a similar scene from the 2021 final defeat to Chelsea, when De Bruyne had to be taken off on the hour after picking up a knock. This time, it came in the first half to put a dampner on a tetchy first half.
