The match marked De Bruyne's final home game as a City player as he prepares to leave this summer after over a decade with the club.
De Bruyne, after the 3-1 win, said: “I would say a bit all over the place. It was amazing. I think I’ve seen a full stadium, everybody staying here to say goodbye.
“So I think that says it all about the appreciation that the fans have for me. I don’t really know how to explain the emotions but it was absolutely wonderful.
“They (my kids) did really well, I’m actually quite surprised because I don’t know what they all think in their head, but to have a full stadium around you with all the lights and everything, they handled it really well.
“It’s not easy for them to even do a video like that. I’m proud of them because it’s not easy for them with everything they’ve been through.
“But like I said, they’ve handled it really well and I’m a proud dad at that time.”
