Manchester City's 4-2 win over Crystal Palace is not the comeback we are looking forward to? In this exciting 32nd round of the Premier League, if there is anyone whose performance can be described as "explosive", it is De Bruyne. Imagine two goals plus an assist, and by the way, unlocked the 100th goal of your career, this kind of performance is a blind existence everywhere. Did Real Madrid tremble when they heard the news, wondering why this great god was so difficult to deal with?
Now, let's get back to the game and get a feel for De Bruyne's incomparability. It's only been three minutes into the game and Manchester City have accidentally conceded a goal, so what do you think? Just when everyone thought that Manchester City would be passively beaten, in the 13th minute, De Bruyne seemed to be pressed the burst button, and after receiving a pass from a teammate, that shot could be called a work of art, directly helping Manchester City equalize. At this moment, Guardiola couldn't help but send a flying kiss on the sidelines, as if to say: "This is my trump card!"
Then, in the 19th minute, De Bruyne showed another side of him - a brilliant assist. He delivered a pinpoint through ball that gave Haaland a one-on-one chance, and although it didn't translate into a goal, it was enough to show how important De Bruyne was on the pitch.
In the second half, Manchester City began to exert full force, and De Bruyne was even more comfortable. In the 66th minute, he wittily assisted Haaland in front of goal to complete the point, and the team's lead was further extended. Just three minutes later, Kevin De Bruyne once again showed his left foot, this time with a direct shot on goal to seal the win for City.
Seeing this, do you think that De Bruyne is simply a symbol of all-rounder? Not only can he score goals, but he can also assist his teammates, and he is simply a commander on the field. Naturally, such a performance was rated as the best player of the game and there was no doubt about it.
Moreover, the game had a special meaning for De Bruyne as he reached 100 goals for his Manchester City career. Think about it, what does that mean, it's not just a sign of personal achievement, it's an acknowledgement of his contribution to Manchester City. It was also his 250th Premier League appearance, becoming the seventh Manchester City player to reach that milestone. Since returning from injury in January, De Bruyne's form has been nothing short of open, with 16 goals directly involved in 14 appearances in all competitions, a performance that is among the best in the entire Premier League.
So, when we say that Manchester City have De Bruyne in mind and have the confidence to face any opponent, it is definitely not an exaggeration. Whether it's Real Madrid or any other team, they have to be careful in front of a superstar like Kevin De Bruyne. However, for Manchester City, they would prefer to continue this form and continue to challenge for the Premier League title, after all, the road to defending the title is always full of challenges.
To sum up, De Bruyne's performance in this game can be described in four words - really explosive. Two goals plus an assist, and also unlocked the achievement of the 100th goal of his career, such a performance has to be admired. Opponents may start to worry, because it does take a bit of confidence and luck against De Bruyne who is in such a burst of form. But for us fans, this kind of game is undoubtedly a feast for the eyes, let's look forward to De Bruyne's next surprises!
