Man City Unveil Special Tribute To Club Captain Fernandinho Ahead Of Final Game

Fernandinho will call his time with Man city a quit time at the end of the season when his commitment ends and is expected to return to Brazil.

In tribute to his nine years at the club, Fernandinho was presented with a mosaic motivated by his goal in City's 7-2 victory over Stoke City in 2017 on Sunday morning.

Manchester City chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak said: "This is the perfect tribute to Fernandinho, a player who has served this club with distinction over nine years

"He is a player who has earned everyone's respect, not just for his performances, which have always been of a consistently high level, but also for his attitude and application. He is a true professional.

"To play so many matches and win 12 trophies – with the chance to win another Premier League title in his final game – is ta testament to his ability.

"His place in Manchester City history is assured. He deserves this tribute and I hope every young footballer who sees this mosaic is inspired by the career he has had."

Fernandinho added: "To have a mosaic and pitch in my honour here at the City Football Academy is an incredible gesture, and I am very grateful to the Club. I could never have imagined this when I signed.

"It's been an amazing period of my life and coming to Manchester City was the best decision I have ever made. This is a special way to bring an end to my time here."
