WATCH: Delighted fan gets Kevin De Bruyne’s shirt, gets chased around the pitch by stewards

De Bruyne's reaction says it all

What a night for that Manchester City fan.

What a bloody game that was.

Manchester City defeated Monaco 5-3 in a thriller at the Etihad Stadium in the first leg of their round of 16 Champions League clash.

We would imagine that city fans’ blood pressure was elevated to unhealthy levels during the 90 minutes of drama as City were ahead at first, before finding themselves behind twice and ultimately emerging eventual 5-3 winners.

The game also featured a number of incredible goals, one of which was this cheeky chip in the 61st minute.

City eventually emerged victorious and most fans in the stadium began the difficult process of getting their heart rate back to normal, healthy levels.

But not for one supporter who decided to chance his arm of congratulating Belgian wizard, Kevin De Bruyne, on the pitch after the game.

The fan met his hero, received his shirt and was quickly chased around the pitch by stewards thereafter.

Unfortunately the footage is cut prematurely short so we don’t get to see whether the fan successfully makes it off the pitch without receiving any further special attention.
