In a thrilling Premier League match, Manchester City reversed Crystal Palace 5-2 at home. Veteran Kevin De Bruyne scored two goals and became the focus of the game. After the game, coach Guardiola praised the performance of the Belgian midfielder and said frankly that this was "the De Bruyne we are familiar with."
During the game, Manchester City fell behind 0-2 at one point, but with De Bruyne's pass and a shot, they completed a stunning reversal, won all three points, and continued to put pressure on the top group.
Guardiola said in an interview with the media after the game: "This is the Kevin we have known for many years. I know he has experienced a lot of injuries in the past year and a half. But now he has no pain and is in a completely different state. The style of play we played today is also very suitable for him-there are young players sprinting at high speed and full-backs who are inserted. All of this gives him great room to play."
Since the summer of 2023, De Bruyne has been plagued by injuries and his form has been up and down. But as his body has recovered, the 33-year-old midfielder has once again shown his top level. This season, he has played 33 games in all competitions, contributing 5 goals and 8 assists, and his form has gradually improved.
Next, Guardiola's team will travel to Goodison Park on April 19 to challenge Everton and continue their journey to the Premier League title.
