Kevin De Bruyne played 88 minutes at the Allianz Arena, assisting for Erling Haaland’s first goal. Manchester City won comfortably as they faced Real Madrid in the semi-finals.
Kevin De Bruyne assisted for Erling Haaland’s goal against Bayern Munich last Wednesday, but the Belgian immediately
turned his attention to Manchester City’s next game. Munich is knocked out of the Champions League.
Although the challengers for the title of Premier League champions will be able to comfortably pass into the final four teams,
by kicking off one of the favorites to win the championship of the Champions League this season,
but De Bruyne, who has played a key role in Manchester City’s efforts to win the treble this season, focused on the next round of games immediately.
He praised Bayern as a top team and insisted Manchester City were worthy of their victory.
“We know Bayern are top, and I think in both games there were moments when you had problems, but as a team, we defended very well.
You can’t stop them for 90 minutes, but in the difficult times we were there as a team and we did. Last year, we played really well, and the last five minutes of the second game changed the result. Obviously, everyone has a different opinion.
This year, we will try to minimize our mistakes. And our defensive game is very strong. I have confidence in our team, and Real Madrid is another class as well. And hope that the result of the competition will be ours this time. The team is in good form. I am very happy with the performance of the team. And we have to keep going.
