Kevin De Bruyne opened the scoring for Manchester City against Copenhagen on Tuesday evening in the Champions League, to record 12 goals in this competition, as many as Thierry Henry!
Kevin De Bruyne has been amazing with Manchester City since his return to competition on January 7. The Manchester City midfielder, not content with having delivered five assists in his last six matches with the Cityzens, scored his second goal of the season, Tuesday evening in Copenhagen, in the round of 16 first leg of the Champions League .
“KDB” opened the scoring in the 10th minute in Denmark by crossing his shot from the right on a service from Phil Foden. For the 12th goal of his career in the knockout phase of the Champions League, as many as Thierry Henry and Mohamed Salah.
De Bruyne in 9 seasons
This is a great performance from the 32-year-old Belgian international, who is only a playmaker and is playing his 9th season in the UCL with Man City (he had not scored with Genk or Chelsea in this competition).
Thierry Henry scored 12 goals in the UCL knockout phase while the former Arsenal striker played eight seasons with the Gunners in C1, as well as one season with AS Monaco before that and three others with Barça after Arsenal.
