Manchester City have dropped too many points this season, admits Kevin De Bruyne. Looks like City is all set to surrender their domestic crown to Liverpool. And The Reds are currently 22 points clear in the Premier League summit.
The Cityzens who have dropped to many points for their liking are definitely have not been disappointing this season, this is a fact outlined by the Belgian superstar. He also bought about the parallels between the first season in charge under Pep Guardiola and the current season.
The Belgian international, De Bruyne who has 16 assists and eight goals in the English top tier this season. Belgian superstar opined:
“We’re performing well but we’ve lost too many points. It feels a bit like the first season with Pep where we were playing good football but we were making too many errors. There are games where you think you are fully in control and then the last five or 10 minutes, we basically gave it away and in this period where Liverpool are not dropping any points, every point you drop is too much.“
For Manchester City, de Buryne has been one of the standout players in the top flight and is one of the leading contenders for the PFA Player of the Year award. Bruyne looks set to beat Thierry Henry’s record for most assists recorded in a single season.
The Frenchman is only four shies of the striker’s tally currently and is registered a staggering 20 assists in the 2002-03 season with Arsenal and De Bruyne looks well set to break the record. The Belgian has conceded that the Reds deserve to be crowned champions, and despite his brilliance, Liverpool have seemingly sealed the league title. De Bruyne also conceded that Liverpool are worthy to win the league this season. He said:
“Even if we did better, I think the way Liverpool are performing this year and winning basically everything, they deserve to win and be champions again. The only frustration we’ve had is making too many mistakes and it’s nothing to do with them [Liverpool], it’s more that we know if we didn’t make these mistakes, it would be closer.”
“We also accept it because you know how hard you have to work to be that good and there’s a lot of respect from both sides to each other. If they win it this way, that’s how it has to be.”
De Bruyne’s form will be pivotal to their European hopes, as they are aiming to win it for the first-ever time in the City’s history. With the Premier League title out of the picture with Liverpool being runaway leaders with 22 points lead, Cityzens will look to progress as far as possible in the UEFA Champions League to end their rough season.
First leg heroics! ⚡️
