Despite having a stellar season with Manchester City so far where De Bruyne has managed 10 assists and three goals in 14 appearances, the Belgian could not emulate a similar performance for the national side.
The midfielder returned from Qatar without adding any goal or assist to his tally.Moreover,De Bruyne was panned by fans and critics alike for his pessimistic statements before the team even crashed out of the World Cup.
“No chance, we’re too old. I think our chance was 2018. We have a good team, but it is ageing. We lost some key players. We have some good new players coming, but they are not at the level other players were in 2018. I see us more as outsiders," said de Bruyne.
Having played 134 games for the Blues of Manchester, De Bruyne has cemented his legacy as one of the greatest players of the club, irrespective of the national form.
Champions League is theonly trophy missing from his cabinet. However, with Erling Haaland and De Bruyne forming a deadly attacking duo this season, there is optimism that Man City may go the distance.
