Manchester City’s Kevin De Bruyne Roots for San Francisco 49ers as Jack Grealish & Others Favor Kansas City Chiefs to Win at Super Bowl LVIII

One of the most anticipated events in world sports, Super Bowl LVIII, is just around the corner, and set to unfold at Allegiant Stadium in Nevada this Sunday. As the excitement builds for the clash between the Kansas City Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers, predictions for the win have flooded in from fans and celebrities. The upcoming clash has also sparked excitement among Manchester City‘s star players. But with the fanfare, one intriguing question arises: Who will the Cityzens be cheering for?

While the majority of the Etihad squad seems to favor the Kansas City Chiefs, Kevin De Bruyne, has surprisingly thrown his weight behind the underdogs, the San Francisco 49ers.

Manchester City joins the Super Bowl fever

In a display of fandom, a significant portion of the Manchester City squad has thrown their weight behind the Kansas City Chiefs. If selections at Etihad are anything to go by, then the Chiefs are fancied to defend the crown that they captured a year ago, edging out the Philadelphia Eagles. Jack Grealish, John Stones, Jeremy Doku, Kyle Walker, Rodri, Nathan Ake, and Manuel Akanji have openly declared their support for the Chiefs.

However, in this sea of red and gold, a lone voice emerges in the support of underdogs, the San Francisco 49ers. Kevin De Bruyne, Manchester City’s midfield maestro, throws his support behind the 49ers. “I’m hoping Chiefs, but I think 49ers,” De Bruyne stated. While acknowledging the Chiefs’ strength, De Bruyne seems drawn to the underdog narrative surrounding the 49ers. It could be the year to witness history in making for the 49ers – the first Vince Lombardi Trophy since 1994.

While the Chiefs hold the edge in terms of star power and recent success, the 49ers’ defensive prowess and underdog spirit might be enough for them to triumph. The outcome of the Super Bowl will not only determine the NFL champion but also settle the friendly wager within the Manchester City locker room.
