Liverpool knocked out Arsenal (2-0) in a hotly contested and long-undecided FA Cup summit on Sunday.
«Kevin is exceptional, he is unique“, said Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola about Kevin De Bruyne, who played again on Sunday for the first time in five months, playing around thirty minutes in the FA Cup against Liverpool. “It’s great that he’s back“, continued the Spanish coach of the Citizens. Chants chanting his name rose from the stands at the Etihad Stadium when the Belgian international, recovering from a thigh injury, came on in the 57th minute against Huddersfield, for his first official match in five months.
Injured in the Champions League final won against Inter Milan in early June, De Bruyne relapsed upon his return, at the opening of the English championship against Burnley on August 11.
In this match of the 3rd round of the “Cup” against a team from D2, the score was 2-0 when he came into play. City finally won 5-0 with an assist from the Belgian for a final goal signed Jeremy Docku. “He played very good minutes», encore dit Guardiola. «Now he needs to accumulate training sessions and matches. He doesn’t have 90 minutes in his legs yet“, tempered the coach.
