Kevin De Bruyne: A Stressful Champions League Final and His Quest for the Ballon d’Or

2023-06-11 19:37:25

After his injury at the start of the match, Kevin De Bruyne experienced a stressful Champions League final against Inter on Saturday in Istanbul (1-0). The Manchester City metronome appeared particularly involved on the bench, alongside Pep Guardiola. Something to amuse his father present in the stands.

Bis repeated. Well, not exactly. Like two years ago against Chelsea (1-0), Kevin De Bruyne was injured in the Champions League final. But this time, the Manchester City metronome was able to lift the trophy after a match won against Inter (1-0). After his exit at the half-hour mark, the Belgian international (99 caps, 26 goals) remained very involved on the Skyblues bench. In the Atatürk Olympic Stadium in Istanbul, the Red Devils manager gave voice on the bench, alongside his coach Pep Guardiola. Almost turning into a deputy.

Something to amuse his father, Herwig De Bruyne, who was in the stands, before quickly joining Belgium at the end of the match to attend this Sunday the KDB Cup, a U15 tournament organized for five years on the initiative of Kevin De Bruyne (La Gantoise won the 2023 edition by beating Real Madrid in the final).

“He deserves to win the Ballon d’Or”

“If Kevin had lost again, it would have haunted him for three or four weeks. But this time it’s a big party, savors the father in an interview with Latest news. I saw that he felt good mentally after leaving the pitch. He even stood next to Pep Guardiola to give him advice (laughs). This Champions League trophy is pretty much the only one that was not on his list. It really is the icing on the cake of his career.”

After achieving a legendary hat-trick, Premier League-Cup-Champions League, Kevin De Bruyne is now one of the candidates for the next Ballon d’Or. But the competition promises to be very tough in this season marked by the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. “It depends on a lot of factors, recognizes Herwig De Bruyne. There are several players who can win it. Kevin has already been close to it and I hope it will be the same today. He really deserves to win the Golden ball.”
