As the two big spenders prepare to face off once more, the guys over at Oulala analyse the stats of one man who heads back to Stamford Bridge in a different shade of blue.
Since moving away from Chelsea, Kevin De Bruyne has excelled. A starring spell with Wolfsburg put his name back on the radar of football’s heaviest hitters, eventually earning him a big-money move back to England with Manchester City.
Since arriving at the Etihad, the Belgian has continued to rise back to the form that put his name in the headlights in the first place.
Fresh off a match-winning performance against PSG midweek, the stats show that he is making his former employers regret allowing him to leave. De Bruyne’s key stats usurp those of his attacking counterparts in West London.
In fact, the only blue that comes close to De Bruyne in the most glittering area – goals – is Pedro, who has six, the same amount as De Bruyne.
City’s number 17 is streets ahead of the competition by way of assists with nine, four ahead of Willian, the next best.
