Kevin De Bruyne has revealed that he would love to play alongside Cristiano Ronaldo because of the Portuguese’s freak athleticism and goalscoring ability.
Speaking from his home while in isolation, the Manchester City star discussed dream team-mates with Sportsmail’s Jamie Redknapp – who said he would love to see De Bruyne in a midfield three with Andres Iniesta and Xavi.
While Redknapp dreamed up what one of the most best midfield trios of all time, De Bruyne was thinking further up the pitch.
Kevin De Bruyne has revealed that he would love to play alongside Juventus’ Cristiano Ronaldo.
‘I would look to strikers, someone like Thierry Henry, my coach at Belgium,’ De Bruyne said on the Football Daily Podcast.
‘Even someone like Cristiano, for me as a creative player you know he is going to be there so I want someone quick who can go deep, that would help me a lot. For what I do, strikers are the main importance.’
De Bruyne added: ‘Cristiano, I could cross it three metres higher and know he is still going to get it.’
De Bruyne lead the assists table with having set up 16 goals – four more than anyone else.
He has created 21 more chances and seven more big chances than any other Premier League player while also tops the league’s charts for successful passes into the final third.
So far in his career, De Bruyne has 170 assists from 438 games while he had 97 goals to his name
