“Nobody can do what Kevin has” – De Bruyne shines while the man’s exit approaches

Unfortunately for Crystal Palace, he chose them to remind us of everything he is capable of.

With the city that marks 2-0 and apparently directed to the defeat, De Bruyne led the recovery mission.

The Belgian hit the processing of the wood before pulling back a goal from the inception of goalkeeper Dean Henderson with a free kick that went to a post.

History books will show the Ilkay Gundogan, assistance for Omar Marmoush equalizer has been attributed. But De Bruyne’s mention was buried, Marmush after Gundogan had not been able to obtain adequate contact on it.

De Bruyne has certainly held Mateo Kovacic for the third crucial goal of the city at the beginning of the second half, calmly launching a perfectly step on the Croatian route on the edge of the area when many, less aware, colleagues may have panicked and make the wrong decision.

He should really have another assistance when he created Marmoush but Henderson rejected the finish line at close range Egyptian.

“It’s the type of performance that Kevin has made in many games for many years,” said Guardiola.

“Unfortunately, for 18 months he could not do it because of the injuries and surgery, but (today) he played fantastic. The gratitude I have for him is enormous.”

The manager of the Oliver Glasner palace also appreciated De Bruyne’s talent. It would just like it to have not been on the receiving side.

“Every manager loves to see a player like him intelligently,” he said. “He moves and always finds space – is how he scores and creates possibilities.”
