KDB, when your return is hyped and then you return and exceed the hype!

[@ameenaftab2803]

KDB has no weak foot. That's where NU defender got done with

Ur Right but he still shot with his Right tho

[@wengelder9256]

@@stevende8306indeed . I expected him to shoot left foot but he changed posture and shot with right foot. Looking , as he often does , for the space between the legs of defenders . He plays with his brain. Feet are just an extension of his brain

Brilliant game. Nobody should be upset anything

[@DarthQueefious]

KDB is known for his assists, but his goal compilation is incredible.

[@niranjanrajesh1058]

The greatest at long shots in the history of football. There may be people with more long shots like Lampard. But in terms of aesthetic, power, technique, qnd oure mystique at how incredible the shots are, kdb clears everyone in the history of football

[@mcfcok1683]

@@niranjanrajesh1058every de bruyne long range goal is just staggering

[@162tsb7]

He is the best in the world right now. He has an understanding of the game very few have. He's up there with pirlo zavi scholes guti to name a few because he makes every other player in his team look better than they are. He is truly a class act it looks effortless.

I think this new squad needs to win Small trophies to boost our confidence like the europa then we can finish the season on top

[@davekika7394]

KEVIN DE BYRUNE 🐐

[@zeejoo]

KdB has to go right up there with Gerrard, Lampard, Scholes, Silva, and Vieira ok the list of PL greatest midfielders

[@gruevlock24]

Right up there ? He's on top of all of them. Need to stop with PL best ever. He's one of the best Midfielders in world history lol

[@zeejoo]

@@gruevlock24 I'm a city fan, and KdB is the most talented midfielder in PL history but he needs to catch Lampards goal record and both his and Scholes and Gerrard's trophy record in Europe. If they win a second CL it's over.

[@woudwilder8324]

@@zeejoo Irrelevant. De Bruyne's job is not to score goals but to take controle over the midfield and to provide assists for his teammeats. And there is simply no one better in the game doing that than KDB. He is better than all the guys you have mentioned, way better. I would say he is 14 billion lightyears ahead of them... When he scores, it's a nice bonus for his team and the fans but it's not that important unless it's a winning goal of course.

[@dwmkryft]

he pinballed the ball using power on his left foot and the right to direct it.

[@basquat76]

He's a super sub now. Put him in in the last 20 when your opponents are worn down.

He has been injured for many months. If you think hes now a sub you are wrong. He will 100 per cent start

[@basquat76]

@@docholiday-lm4vf Yeah i was just joking mate. Although he'll be injured again soon enough, so it might not be the worst idea.

@@basquat76 he got injured last year in the ucl final after playing a treble winning season. This season hes had 5 months off to recover. Thats unheard of for him in his career.

It wasn't a powerful shot, it was a pass in the corner.

Do you play ball? That was definitely powerful when you look at the shape of his body

[@lesgourlay6240]

Why didn't a Newcastle player tackle him for his goal apart from the fact Newcastle had run out of gas in the final 20mins. They just let him waltz through.

[@BGjunior]

Easy answer. If you tackle you leave space
