De Bruyne stood in front of the penalty spot, looking calmly at Courtois in front of the goal, but his mind went back to eight years ago...
In 2012, the 21-year-old De Bruyne was a new star in chelsea's squad, although there were not many opportunities to play, but many people were optimistic about his future, and he also had a girlfriend Caroline who had been dating for three years. De Bruyne did not expect to have an extraordinary relationship with Chelsea and the national team's dual team-mate, Courtois.
Courtois was loaned by Chelsea to Atletico Madrid in La Liga, and the 20-year-old Belgian goalkeeper performed well in La Liga. De Bruyne's girlfriend Caroline suddenly traveled to Madrid on a whim, met Courtois by chance, and was captured, "That night, Courtois offered me the service that I had not enjoyed in three years with Kevin, and with Courtois, I could talk about everything, and he even prepared a hearty and delicious dinner for me, which Kevin never did." ”
After all, paper can't contain the fire! De Bruyne learned of the news and even saw Courtois's bed photo with his girlfriend! Who can bear this?! So De Bruyne broke up with his girlfriend and fell out with Courtois... At one point, this also made the belgian national team coach Wilmots angry, and even prepared to expel Courtois from the national team! But De Bruyne was still very sensible, and he offered to intercede with Wilmots, and Courtois was eventually able to stay in the national team.
Courtois eventually returned to Stamford Bridge after ending his loan, and De Bruyne chose to leave for the Bundesliga in order to avoid the embarrassment of the two for a long time together. Until returning to the Premier League and joining Manchester City, De Bruyne had completed the double revenge against the old owner and old friends with a world wave when facing the Chelsea gate guarded by Courtois.
At the Bernabeu against Real Madrid, when Manchester City won a penalty opportunity, De Bruyne finally ushered in a face-to-face direct conversation!
Deep breathing, running, shaking in fake movements, pushing and shooting easily... De Bruyne did just that and sent the ball into the goal guarded by Courtois. It was his 50th goal at Manchester City and the first time he has scored and assisted at the same time in Europe. Achieving these achievements in front of Courtois, De Bruyne can be regarded as a real reversal of the ex-girlfriend.
Now, he is the top midfielder of Manchester City and even the world, his wife Michelle is far more beautiful than Caroline, not to mention, and gave birth to two small children for him, so let the past go with the wind!
