Nah, he was in the tunnel getting treatment for lack of heart.

Where on earth was Pep playing him? False 9?!
Awful game from him. Worst City player today. Great against a Watford but goes missing in the big games.
Finished.
Didn't play well before his injury, but he's a sensational player.

The reason why I put his name.

Nowhere near the same player as a false 9. Another stupid decision from Guardiola.
thought I was the only one that felt that way.Ridiculous comment and false information.
He's been shit all season bar the odd game, he's a whiney wanker too.
He's had an incredibly overrated season.
What bit was false?
Like most of their players great against the dross. Not so much against decent teams.
He got blacked
So he wasn't awful today? I'd strongly argue he was the worst polayer by far. A quick check also tells me he had a passing accuracy of 66.7% in this final - absolutly criminal. Thought he also broke down their rythme and was off the pace. Also can't think of a big game where he has turned up in. Happy to be proved wrong so please help James.
Just hope he meant black eyed....
Still a brilliant player, City's team was unbalanced starting off so nobody played that well. Shame to see him clothes lined by Rudiger.
Yeah he looks like a mini Brock Lesnar too.
City were a much better team with Gundogan in his place while KDB was out injured
Worst season for a while. Weird thing is in he‘d had done a little as scoring a winning free kick in that match he’d have got the Ballon D’OR.
Poor man's David Beckham.
Was watching on mute due to Steve Mcmanaman, was that a concussion substitute?.
Still created a great chance for Foden that was followed by a great block from Rudiger. And, well, he was on the pitch for 60 mins. Bit of a hyperbole this thread.
Obviously he was invisible, but not out of place in that City team against the Chelsea team that was simply better. Couldn’t individually impact the game much in the first 60 minutes, which is completely normal. Same as the likes of Håland and Mbappe, being outplayed by their opponents doesn’t make him overrated or anything. One of the best players in the world.
Felt bad he had to go off due to injury honestly, I hate city because of their oil money... they're a nothing club born out of mediocrity.
It's inevitable city will win a CL and maybe one day overtake the greats of Liverpool and United historically, but have to say KDB is a magnificent player.
I'd have liked for him to have stayed on for 97 minutes and have lost the game in a fair way.

He's a brilliant player. His problem tonight was summed up at the moment when he came deep to pick the ball up near the centre circle, looked up to see who he should be passing it forward to, and realised that it was meant to be him up there.
Felt bad for him. Pep fecked him and Gundogan (and himself) by leaving out a defensive midfielder, but it was quite sad seeing him go off with a concussion and him knowing it's the end for him. Never like to see that, even if Chelsea were dominating the midfield.
No they weren't. They're a better side when Pep doesn't feck around and leave out his holding midfielders though.
Far from ridiculous or false
You've got to be careful criticising him on here, he's RedCafe's favourite player.Far from ridiculous or false
Is it me or is he becoming injury prone?
Didn't show up
A shoulder to the eye socket will make you injury prone mate
He had a massive shiner and bloody coming out of his eye, probably a concussion too.
Pep really fecked up playing him as a false 9, what on earth was he thinking? KDB is all about the killer pass, not standing up front.
Missing in a big game again ?
No I'm not meaning tonight. I feel like he's always got a knock or coming back from an injury. Muscular or just getting clattered, an injury is an injury.A shoulder to the eye socket will make you injury prone mate

He's had a fair amount of plaudits this season but I've found him quite reserved in general.
The previous season he was excellent and really carried City, even if they did miss out on a PL title.

Felt like he hasn't been at his best for quite a while now and today was no different. Not the dominant midfielder he used to be.
