Manchester City chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak hailed a 'perfect' tribute to departing club captain Fernandinho ahead of his final game for the Blues.
Fernandinho will call time on a long spell at City after this season when his contract expires, when he is expected to return to Brazil. In honour of his service to the club, City have unveiled a mosaic of Fernandinho at the City Football Academy and named a training pitch after him. He will play his final game for City, if selected, against Aston Villa on Sunday, and could lift the Premier League trophy for a fifth time after the game.
The honour sees him follow in the footsteps of other club levels including Yaya Toure, Joe Hart, Vincent Kompany, David Silva and Sergio Aguero. Unveiling the new mosaic, chairman Khaldoon said Fernandinho had served City with distinction.
