Their first CL win is a historical milestone for them and Gündoğan happened to be the captain, it makes sense to me that it has significance to City and they wanted to honor this.

It's also not like they renamed the Etihad to the Gündoğan stadium (I don't mind that tho). They certainly have more than one training pitch so I don't see the reason to overreact over this.

It's the city of Manchester stadium. Etihad is the 'sponsor's' name.
