We have seen once again how important De Bruyne is for Manchester City.

It is really awesome to see this player changing the way a match is going to. Despite recovering a really short time ago he just continues from where he left. This is what I like at De Bruyne. He is always ready to give his 100% into a match.
It wasn't an easy day for Manchester City anyway but at least De Bruyne won the match for them. Haaland should also be back very soon. I have no doubt he also missed playing together with De Bruyne as they have a great chemistry.

Because Kevin is a very smart and skillful player so it's easy for him to find a place in a match. He is a type of player who does not need to spend too much energy to run around and we can see a bigger example, Messi. We see how Argentina's coach and players tried to free Messi from many tasks and allowed him to run very little, just walk around and only run when Argentina needs him for attacking.
Kevin is more energetic than Messi but I see something similar on their skills and vision to avoid too much energy waste for physical fight.
After seeing the progress of the match in the first half, I thought that it would be difficult for Man City to get the full 3 points in this match because Newcastle put up very fierce resistance and they had dangerous counter attacks. I knew that Kevin De Bruyne was back playing again, but I didn't think he would get his moment so soon due to his long injury. But that's what happens in the field, De Bryune remains one of Man City's key players and it doesn't take long for him to show his level.
