Spanish coach Pep Guardiola, currently in charge of Manchester City, highly praised midfielder De Bruyne’s performance after the 4-2 victory against Crystal Palace. In the match, the Belgian was the scorer of two goals and one assist.
“During his time at Manchester City, his numbers, presence and consistency have been fantastic. He’s one of the best players in the club’s entire history. The first goal is unbelievable and so is the other. The assist for Haaland was really good “, said Guardiola.
The coach also added that without De Bruyne’s presence, the result of the game could have been different.
“Kevin won the game. Without him, we might not have been able to win. We can talk about tactics, but give me more players like Kevin.”
With the triumph against Crystal Palace, Manchester City reached 70 points in the English Championship, just one less than Arsenal, the competition leader.
Finally, the team’s next match will be this Tuesday, against Real Madrid, in the quarter-finals of the Champions League. The ball rolls at 4pm (Brasília time), at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium. In the Premier League, the team returns to the pitch on Saturday (13), against Luton Town, for the 33rd round. The ball rolls at 11 am (Brasília time), at the Etihad Stadium.
