Man City v Real Madrid: Kevin de Bruyne still needs his legacy moment, say journalists
Kevin de Bruyne is Manchester City's top scorer in Champions League knockout games with 11
The 31-year-old has scored 64 goals and made 101 assists in 237 Premier League games for City. Only Lionel Messi and Thomas Muller have made more assists across Europe's top five leagues in that time. De Bruyne has scored 14 Champions League goals for City, with a club record 11 of them coming in knockout games.
De Bruyne has been named Premier League player of the season twice and finished third in the 2022 Ballon d'Or. "In Spain he is seen as good but not as in Real Madrid and Barcelona should be fighting for him. That's partly because we have had a few like De Bruyne in recent years and secondly because his manager is a work of art at City, playing the best football we've seen but it is not down to one player doing marvellous things in different parts of the pitch.
Balague said: "If he does what he is doing so far with 20-odd assists this season and more goals than he has ever scored in a season it is fine.
