Erling Haaland Donates €5,000 for Tifo Honouring Kevin De Bruyne Ahead of Emotional FA Cup Final

Erling Haaland has demonstrated his appreciation for teammate Kevin De Bruyne by donating €5,000 to Manchester City supporters to fund a tifo honoring the Belgian midfielder ahead of the 2025 FA Cup final.

This gesture was particularly poignant as the match marked De Bruyne's final cup final appearance for the club, following his announcement in April of his departure after a decade of service .

The tifo, displayed at Wembley Stadium, served as a heartfelt tribute to De Bruyne's significant contributions to Manchester City, where he secured 18 trophies and earned four Player of the Season awards. 

Despite the emotional send-off, Manchester City faced a challenging match, ultimately falling 1–0 to Crystal Palace. A first-half goal from Eberechi Eze secured the victory for Palace, earning them their first-ever major trophy and a spot in the 2025–26 UEFA Europa League .
