The goalkeeper reflects on his long career at the Etihad in the face of interest from Saudi clubs.
The Brazilian foreigner would have possibly left traces of his long career sitting in the stands.
While his team-mates wore the City kit, the 30-year-old watched the fit while wearing a shirt with his own face on it.
Footballers wear t-shirts with another player’s face on them for special occasions, such as mourning a serious injury or toasting the end of their career.
But, by appearing outside his own face, does the Brazilian offer himself a personal benefit?
Bayern Munich have struggled to find a new coach after failing to conquer many of the more sensible targets.
Xabi Alonso has become Bayern’s favourite to take over, but his former player has to stay at Bayern Leverkusen.
Aston Villa manager Unai Emery also rejected the advances of the Bundesliga giants and put his pen to new terms at Villa Park.
The Munich side also turned away through former Manchester United goalkeeper Ralf Rangnick and German coach Julian Nagelsmann.

Roberto De Zerbi has also been pointed out as a candidate, but it turns out that he does not need to move to the Allianz Arena after leaving Brighton.
Burnley manager Vincent Kompany is Bayern Munich’s “preferred choice” for their new manager.
According to Sky Germany, Bayern will prioritize Kompany to renew Thomas Tuchel at the helm despite the Clarets’ relegation.

Duran, 20, has scored 8 goals in 37 games this season as Unai Emery’s side qualify for the Champions League.
And his memorable brace in a 3-3 draw against Liverpool on May 13 put Villa on the verge of completing fourth place.
However, Durán’s advisor Jonathan Herrera has claimed the Medellín-born ace could soon be on his way to Stamford Bridge.
There has been interest in Jhon since Chelsea. No it matters if Mauricio Pochettino is there or not: in the end, it is the club that needs Jhon.
We will see what happens, if a resolution can be made and if Aston Villa are in a position to do so. Jhon has a contract with Villa. I finished the season very well and his coach has confidence in him.
The club has reached the Champions League and it’s a wonderful opportunity. But we know he needs to play games, so let’s see.
Now that the moving market is reopening, the club has other options, and so do we. If it stays, it stays.

Here are all Pochettino’s stats at Stamford Bridge:
Total Registration:
Chelsea players were surprised and “devastated” to learn of Mauricio Pochettino’s departure on social media.
The Argentine is the third full-time head coach to leave Stamford Bridge in less than two years since Todd Boehly and the Clearlake owners took over.
Pochettino, 52, led Chelsea to their fifth consecutive Premier League victory with a 2-1 home win over Bournemouth on Sunday.
That last game was enough to take sixth place and return to European football after a year’s absence.
Figures like Cole Palmer, who shared a sense of gratitude after the online news, have thrived under Poch’s tutelage during this tenure despite a rocky start to the campaign.
However, the team was shaken after it was shown last night that the former Tottenham manager had left by mutual agreement.

And even worse, they found out on social networks.
We also understand that some managers were left out of blood after the announcement of Pochettino’s departure last night.
Mauricio Pochettino will be Manchester United’s new boss two years after missing out on the job, writes NEIL CUSTIS.
Pochettino has left Chelsea by mutual agreement and INEOS boss Sir Jim Ratcliffe is likely to be in a position to hold talks with the former Tottenham manager with Erik ten Hag clinging to his job at Old Trafford.
The 52-year-old Argentine was in a two-man race with Ten Hag for United’s project in April 2022, as he approached the Paris Saint-Germain exit door.
United’s then kingmakers Richard Arnold and John Murtough are said to have spoken to him at the time, but were influenced by Ten Hag’s extensive wisdom on United and his concepts for turning things around.
While the Dutchman did that in his first season, finishing third and winning the Carabao Cup, things took a turn in this crusade with an eighth-place finish in the Premier League and an exit from the Champions League stage of the organisation.
United have yet to play in the FA Cup final on Saturday, as part of a repeat of last year’s Wembley central match against neighbours Manchester City.
This is how the bookmakers evaluate the Mauricio Pochettino hopefuls at Stamford Bridge.
There is no place for former Chelsea and Man Utd manager José Mourinho. . . !
