PREMIER LEAGUE : MANCHESTER CITY VS WOLVERHAMPTON WANDERERS – 02/05/2025 (PHOTO – KEVIN DE BRUYNE SCORES FOR MAN CITY)

WELL, IF YOU WERE LOOKING FOR THE STAR IN LAST NIGHT’S SHOWDOWN BETWEEN MAN CITY VS WOLVES, IT WAS UNDOUBTEDLY KEVIN DE BRUYNE!  (BELOW)

MAN CITY MADE 684 PASSES, WITH A 90% PASS ACCURACY, (HAD 64% POSSESSION), AND HAD 9 SHOTS WITH 2 ON TARGET, INCLUDING DE BRUYNE’S CRACKER AT 35 MINS., ASSISTED BY A LOW-CROSS FROM JEREMY DOKU, (AND PERHAPS ALSO, BY HAVING “LUCKY CHARM” ERLING HAALAND BACK ON THE BENCH AFTER RECOVERING FROM INJURY – BELOW) 

WHICH GOT THE CROWD ON THEIR FEET, CLAPPING AND CHEERING IN THE ETIHAD STADIUM! THIS WAS TO BE KEVIN DE BRUYNE’S PENULTIMATE GAME AS HIS CONTRACT IS TO EXPIRE SOON. (GULP!) DE BRUYNE WAS THE FIRST PLAYER SINCE LIONEL MESSI TO HAVE 250 GOAL INVOLVEMENTS UNDER PEP GUARDIOLA, WITH 92 GOALS AND 158 ASSISTS IN 9 SEASONS AND HE HAS SCORED 30 PREMIER LEAGUE GOALS SINCE TURNING 30! HE REALLY DOES HAVE ‘LEGENDARY’ STATUS. AND HE AND ERLING HAALAND SEEMED TO HAVE AN EXTRAORDINARY, ALMOST MYSTICAL TELEPATHY WHEN IT COMES TO SCORING GOALS.

AN ENERGETIC WOLVES PLAYED WELL ALSO LAST NIGHT, MAKING 380 PASSES WITH AN 83% PASS ACCURACY, WITH 6 SHOTS, AND 1 ON TARGET, INCLUDING 2 SIGNIFICANT ATTEMPTS BY RAYAN AIT-NOURI AND MATHEUS CUNHA WHICH WEREN’T TO BE.

THE LOYAL WOLVES FANS APPLAUDED THEIR HEROES LOUDLY AT THE END OF THE MATCH! (BELOW)

SO WITH KEVIN DE BRUYNE’S GOAL REMAINING THE ONLY GOAL OF THE MATCH, IT ENDED WITH A 1 – 0 WIN TO MAN CITY, AND WITH THEM MOVING UP TO 3RD IN THE PREMIER LEAGUE TABLE! (AND NOW WITH 5 WINS IN A ROW IN ALL COMPETITIONS.) PLUS, ALSO, A PROFOUND RECOGNITION OF THE FACT THAT THE SKILLS OF KEVIN DE BRUYNE WILL BE SORELY MISSED.
