De Bruyne announced in April he would be leaving City when his contract expires at the end of the season.
City threw a party for their departing hero at a Manchester restaurant on Wednesday, with Wags invited along.
Foden was joined by Rebecca Cooke, the mother of his three children.
Rebecca looked the part as she went braless in a black jumpsuit, which she paired with blue heels and a purse in the design of a cocktail glass.
Jack Grealish also caught the eye in a leather jacket, while the man of the hour De Bruyne wore a smart navy jacket and trousers with Doc Martens.
His wife Michele stunned in a short black dress featuring lace at the top - she wore brown heels and walked into the restaurant hand in hand with her husband.
Michele posed with other wags as well as midfielder Mateo Kovacic and his wife Izabel.
Bernardo Silva and his partner Ines Tomaz caught the eye too - and not just because of Ines' red dress.
That is because they arrived with De Bruyne face masks, which they used to cover their face for photos.
Guardiola looked casual compared to his squad and even arrived pushing his bicycle.

De Bruyne will leave City after ten years and 14 trophies won.
He has remained coy on his future but is now expected to leave the Premier League, despite previously saying he was "open for anything".

Notting Hill's selfie-takers are ignoring one thing: the movie's a turkey
What has been the biggest disappointment of my life? Along with losing my virginity and seeing U2 at Wembley, it was probably when the film Notting Hill came out in 1999. A romance that isn't romantic, a comedy with no good jokes, this intolerable follow-up to Richard Curtis's almost flawless Four Weddings and a Funeral sees Hugh Grant's cringing bookshop owner meeting Julia Roberts's odious actress, spending the night with her before deciding, bewilderingly, that they can't be together, then changing his mind after she gives him an original Chagall and jumping in a car for a faked-up 'rom-com run' to tell her that he loves her before she gets on a plane — which presumably, if she had, would only have meant he had to wait until she landed, when he could have given her a call. Spoiler alert, by the way. Now it turns out that this swizz, this stone-cold Turkey Twizzler of a movie, is still causing people pain a quarter of a century later. This month it was reported that residents in the candy-coloured W11 streets where it was made have had to endure fans of the film, more recently joined by Instagram influencers, thronging the pavements to get pics for their social media feeds. Some have the gall to enter the front gardens to get the right shot. They make a lot of noise. They leave rubbish behind. Locals are so irritated that a number of them have taken the desperate step of painting their homes black. What enrages me most, though, about this is the evidence it provides that there are still people out there who think Notting Hill is a good film. • Hugh Grant's best performances — ranked Let's summarise. Curtis scored a surprise hit with Four Weddings by casting Grant as a posh avoidant who panics when he sees all his posh friends getting married, until the death of a slightly older posh friend forces him to get serious. Solid. Relatable. Crammed with good jokes. The screenwriter's next move was to cast Grant as a posh avoidant with a group of posh friends, including (again) one with a disability and a working-class flatmate. Again he's in love with a glamorous American out of his league. Jokes are repeated. 'F***ety f***!' Grant exclaims in the first film. 'Shittety brickety,' he mutters, less plausibly, in the second. The laziness of all this is compounded by the film's incredibly unconvincing disavowal of privilege, which in fact it would do far better to own. In Four Weddings, Grant's friend Tom cheerfully admits to being the seventh richest man in England. In Notting Hill, even though all the characters are obviously loaded, they claim to be poor. Grant's friend's restaurant is failing. His own bookshop, located in prime real estate just off Portobello Road, is struggling to stay afloat. Yet he owns a house with a roof terrace in the heart of Notting Hill, which (a glance on Zoopla reveals) would now be worth £3 million. Need another way to relate to these guys? They're all total losers, we're assured. Grant's sister Honey works in 'London's worst record store'. His friend Max is 'the worst cook in the world'. His friend Bernie is 'the worst stockbroker in the whole world'. His friend Tony is 'the worst restaurateur'. His flatmate Spike is 'the stupidest person you've ever met'. The film is imbued with a bizarre glorification of uselessness that is epitomised in the notorious 'brownie' scene. Personally I have always struggled to care for a brownie (there's something twee about the very word), yet here it randomly becomes the prize in the sob story Olympics. One of Grant's posh friends can't have children. Roberts has no self-esteem. And so on, and so on. Supposedly a classic, the scene is actually weird and depressing. • Inside the ultimate Notting Hill bachelorette pad Vulnerability is winning. Self-contempt, less so. Given that Americans are supposedly unable to understand our tendency to talk ourselves down, it's hard to know what Roberts sees in Grant, unless it's the fact that he's the only person on the planet who is arguably better-looking than her. That said, she has some off-putting qualities herself. She's rude one moment, needy the next. And she has zero dress sense. The teenage crop top she wears in one early scene is a very odd choice. When she sports a man's tie in the Ritz, it's meant as a tribute to kooky Diane Keaton in Annie Hall. But it leaves Roberts looking like a pantomime horse. Speaking of kooky, the entire last scene — the press conference in the Lancaster Room at the Savoy Hotel — is ripped off from Roman Holiday (1953). In that much better film, Audrey Hepburn's celebrity princess reveals her love for a journalist in the crowd with a carefully nuanced answer. In Notting Hill, Roberts does something similar with a less nuanced one. We then cut to a shot of the pair relaxing together in a residents' garden, reading Captain Corelli's Mandolin, of all things. Just as Chagall (along with Munch and Dalí) is the top-dollar painter for people who don't like painting, Louis de Bernières' middle-brow blockbuster is the book for people who don't read. And Notting Hill is the film for people without eyes. (And Ronan Keating's When You Say Nothing at All, which plays over one key scene, is the song for people who lack access to any of the five senses.) It's fashionable to make a noise about how much you hate Curtis's next big rom-com, Love Actually (2003). But in fact, Love Actually is far from being the worst in his rom-com oeuvre. It contains one or two good jokes and Emma Thompson's heartbreaking turn alone makes it worth a watch. Not so Notting Hill. It's time we called time on the idea that there's any merit in this slow, insipid, neighbourhood-wrecking stinker.

Wirtz' stellar season with Leverkusen
Florian Wirtz played a pivotal role in Bayer Leverkusen's Bundesliga campaign in 2024-25, underlining his status as one of Europe's brightest young 31 league appearances, the 22-year-old maintained a steady influence in the final third, averaging 0.5 assists per game and creating 2.2 chances per match - key metrics that reflect his creative impact in Xabi Alonso's fluid conversion rate of 18.52% may not place him among the league's top scorers, but his 0.4 goals per game shows he remained a consistent threat in front of goal. Combined with a passing accuracy of 82.33%, Wirtz has continued to mature as both a playmaker and a link between midfield and his performances came despite a brief spell on the sidelines - Wirtz missed 30 days due to an inner ligament injury, a setback that might have disrupted rhythm for many players. Yet his return was seamless, and his influence never Leverkusen pushed on both domestically and in Europe, Wirtz's presence remained central - a reminder of why he is one of Germany's brightest talents heading into the next campaign.
