With KDB's return, Man City's mentality is getting better. He has a very good game-changing vision. It cannot be denied that KDB is one of the best midfielders in Europe currently.
Especially if he plays together with Haaland, he is a very real threat to other clubs. So far at the same level as them are the defending Kings Real Madrid and Bayer Munchen.
These three teams are the favorites to win the Champions League this season, because they have the greatest chance and their experience has been proven.
Kevin De Bruyne is like a driving force at Manchester City, even though when he was absent due to injury there were players who managed to temporarily replace him but were not as brilliant as him, and when he was absent for months he managed to score a goal for City in his second match after that long absence, but I read in the local media that he admitted that he was no longer able to play for 90 minutes, maybe it was just a matter of fitness because he had not been in training camp for quite a long time and he would slowly find his fitness again when he trained often, it's just that Manchester City needed a replacement because this year he would reached 33 years, and it seems City is not the typical club that will retain players who are quite old.
For the last 16 rounds, there is no doubt that City will continue to progress to the next round, which will be quite curious to see whether they will be able to reach the final even though they don't become champions, because it is rare for a team to become champions again in a row in the Champions League.
