Meanwhile, Manchester City have made a clean sweep of the Premier League awards for the season.

De Bruyne winning the award makes it the third straight year that a Manchester City player is winning the award after he won it in 2020 and Ruben Dias won it in 2021.
Phil Foden made away with the award for the best player under 23 also called the best young player. The 21-year-old retained his crown from last season, beating Saka and Alexander-Arnold who were also nominated for the best player award.
Chelsea’s Mason Mount and Conor Gallagher, who spent the season on loan at Crystal Palace, West Ham’s Declan Rice, Arsenal’s Aaron Ramsdale and Palace’s Tyrick Mitchell.
The awards were voted for by the fans, the 20 captains of the Premier League clubs and a panel of football experts.
Foden thanked his competitors after receiving the award. “I am very proud to have won this award for a second season in a row. There are so many talented young players in the Premier League and it is a real honour to win it again.”
