Man City honour Gundogan with training pitch named after him

Manchester City have honoured former captain Ilkay Gundogan with a mosiac and training pitch named after him.

The Treble winner left City for Barcelona in the summer.

Gundogan departed having scored the winner in the FA Cup final against Manchester United as part of their Treble.

The previous season, it was his two goals that turned the final Premier League game against Aston Villa on its head as City sealed the second of their current run of three successive titles.

City chairman Khaldoon al-Mubarak said: “You have been an important leader, an important pillar of the history of this club that will never be forgotten.

"We are all so grateful for the great memories you gave us – as the first Manchester City captain to lift the Champions League, as a player that's lifted five Premier Leagues, so many trophies as part of his journey with the club."
