The Belgian playmaker has become Guardiola's second record holder in terms of goals + assists

In the 35th round of the English Premier League, Manchester City won another important victory in front of their fans. Josep Guardiola's team defeated Wolverhampton Wanderers with a narrow 1:0 score at the Etihad.

Three points - thanks to a shot by De Bruyne

The only goal scored by the visitors was scored by the team's main player, Belgian Kevin De Bruyne. His accurate and powerful shot brought City three valuable points and brought the team one step closer to qualifying for the European Champions League.

Historical result from Kevin

With this goal, De Bruyne became the second player to achieve great results under Guardiola. He scored 150 points in the "goal + assist" indicator. Only Lionel Messi has done this before him - the Argentine star achieved this result under the same coach at Barcelona.

A model of loyalty and efficiency

Kevin de Bruyne joined Manchester City in 2015, a season before Guardiola. In his first season under Manuel Pellegrini, he scored 16 goals and provided 13 assists.

However, his real breakthrough came after Guardiola took over. The Belgian playmaker has scored 92 goals and provided 158 assists in the last nine seasons. This means he has been effective in almost every match.

On the verge of farewell

Kevin de Bruyne's current contract with Manchester City expires on June 30. He is the club's longest-serving player and the only player Guardiola has worked with for longer than any other player.

In conclusion…

De Bruyne's journey, stats and contributions at City have made him one of the most effective midfielders not only for the club but in English football. His departure is a huge loss for City, but his legacy will live on for generations to come.
