Kevin de Bruyne has admitted that Manchester City will ‘almost be failures’ if they lose the Champions League final to Chelsea.

The Belgian, 29, said: “As players, we understand the magnitude of the game.

“If you win, you’re a hero and if you lose, you’re almost a failure, even if you’re not a failure because getting to this stage is incredibly well done by the team and an individual.

“But if you don’t win, it will be something you don’t really want to experience.”
