Give it up for the kid from Belgium. Yet again he came and delivered the final killer blow that has taken City to unchartered waters. Another great performance and he may now be the new MVP for City with Yaya Toure on his way out and still sulking about his lack of a birthday cake. It's very important to give footballers a cake on their birthday.
What makes De Bruyne so impressive is the lack of the flash and irrelevant fluff that isn't useful in a football match. You can have all the skills in the world with the tricks, which is what a player like Jese has. But in a tight match where you need to stick to the plan and be effective, I'm picking De Bruyne over Jese any day of the dang week, month or year.
Kevin just makes the right decisions and understands the logistics of a match. Whilst Di Maria and his crew were trying to play keep-ball, because maybe they got the wrong memo of them winning the match, De Bruyne was leading the advancement of City each time they got the ball. He knew went to go wide, to come in on the inside and also played the right passes, linking up well with Silva and Aguero to irritate Thiago Silva all night long.
Then came that moment of truth. City were still winning the tie, but I love how they were looking for the goal and wanted to end the contest absolutely without the need of the away goal. So when that ball came out in the D, Kevin was there to execute and put home a superb G which gave City the deserved win and unequivocally gave him the man-of-the-match title. Scoring in both legs, it wouldn't take two geniuses to see him as the man who put out PSG.
Onward and upward with City in the semis and I pray that De Bruyne does not get injured. I want to see how Madrid handle him, because with him on the pitch, we're going to have two really great matches with lots of chances and excitement.
De Fuckin Bruyyyyyyyyne....we salute you. HH
