Manchester City can of course feel the absence of De Bruyne in the Champions League as well. However it is the truth on one hand that they are still able to stay strong. Things are going well in the English Premier League these days. They are winning their matches one by one and I don't doubt their performance in the Champions League too.
Manchester City squad is full of talented players. Guardiola can find a solution to his absence one way or another here as well.
De Bruyne is one of the most special players in this squad. He has a wonderful relationship with Haaland. I hope we don't see Haaland getting balls less than before without him. For now he is still doing okay at scoring.
De Bruyne was the key to their Treble Winner success last season, but without the presence of De Bruyne in several matches in the League did not seem to affect Manchester City's game in the opening match it seemed that Manchester City were still able to win the match and even Manchester City performed well without De Bruyne in in the Manchester City lineup in several important matches, Pep Guardiola can still overcome the void in the attacking midfielder left by De Bruyne, several Manchester City players who are usually filled by De Bruyne, can replace De Bruyne's role as the key to Manchester City's attack this season, although De Bruyne did not play in two Manchester City matches, but he was able to maximize and score points perfectly and well in the last two weeks.
