I agree with you that De Bruyne's entry into the team had a significant impact on the originality of Manchester City's attack. As an attacker, Haaland may find it difficult to miss De Bruyne's valuable pass. But it must be admitted that Manchester City have a history under Pep Guardiola showing their capacity to win under these circumstances. Guardiola is renowned for his ability to devise original methods and tactical mindset. He frequently compensated for the absence of key players by taking advantage of agile player rotations and effective tactical setups.
Guardiola is always trying to pick versatile players who can play in many positions and this is a very smart move as it will allow the team to rotate if necessary. But De Bruyne is more than just a good universal player, he is capable of creating scoring chances on his own and he has a great shot even from long range, the absence of such a player is always felt by the team.
Some time ago, Manchester City has tried to find a replacement for KDB, but it seems that the agreement that was planned to bring Lucas Paqueta to the Etihad stadium has officially ended. Until now, Pep Guardiola is still quite confused about the midfield options available and considering that KDB was absent for a long time due to the injury, Guardiola had to rotate his players within a certain time.
If we look at domestic league matches, KDB's position is currently filled by Julian Alvarez or Phil Foden but still they end up being less productive due to the absence of creative midfielders like KDB. I am also very curious whether Manchester City will continue to maintain its current options for the Champions League competition? Because we know this competition is more difficult and the competition in it brings together all the strong teams in Europe.
If I want to say a little about the role of PSG in the Champions League, that is it. It's time to see what kind of role the PSG team plays in the Champions League. Because the main objective of the PSG team is to ensure the Champions League, but with the kind of players that this team is making, it is never possible to compete with other big teams in the Champions League. Also, Barcelona and Real Madrid will try hard to get the better of the champions.
