The Premier League ended on May 27, Manchester City beat Fulham 2-1 away. Gundogan scored a wonderful barb goal in this game. Recently, Gundogan talked about several topics such as this barb goal and De Bruyne, as well as the goals for next season in an interview.

■About the final game, scored a wonderful barb goal

In the cruel Premier League, there is no compromise at all."

■Talking about De Bruyne's departure

Gundoan It is hard to hide my sentimentality: "De Bruyne's farewell ceremony at Etihad last week made me emotionally. Obviously this is unacceptable, and it is not something you are willing to get used to. I will never see him again when I return to the training base in a few days. But this is football, and we players all have a 'shelf life'. We must look forward and make the best choice for ourselves in a difficult situation."

Gundogan is a rare "all-season fighter" in Manchester City's team this season. Although he was tired sometimes, his appearance became a must in the injury crisis and state trough throughout the winter. Although he was trapped in the slump of the whole team, the "Key Mr." familiar to the fans at the end finally returned, and the exciting goal against Fulham was proof.
