This Manchester City we saw so far in this season was far from the good form they had in the past and they were getting bad results. Manchester City is a team they are very much dependent on its players and it seems without some players like Kevin De Bruyne they will have a bad performance and you saw in the last games we saw from Manchester City while they had De Bruyne they got much better results and that's why I think this team is not in the good firm this time and they are far from the good days they had in the past.

I'm quite curious about what will happen to Manchester City if Kevin De Bruyne leaves and it will probably be their worst period of the season. We know that Kevin De Bruyne is no longer young and it is likely that he will stay at Manchester City for at least another two seasons. If Pep Guardiola was still the coach of Manchester City during that period, he should have looked for another player to replace Kevin De Bruyne because this season alone they are having a hard time winning in the domestic league without his presence, who is injured.

In the Champions League everything will be much more difficult than in the domestic league and therefore Manchester City must be able to take advantage of Kevin De Bruyne's comeback to support good results and at the same time strengthen their steps to the next round. However, something undesirable, such as experiencing another injury for Kevin De Bruyne, will definitely make it difficult for Manchester City to defend its title again.

That's exactly the point. Kevin De Bruyne is a key player in Manchester City and currently, he is even more than just a key player in this team because Kevin De Bruyne's performance in Manchester City makes this team win or lose a match and if they lose Kevin De Bruyne, they can't have good performance anymore. you just saw in the games when they didn't have Kevin De Bruyne because he got injured, Manchester City had a bad situation in the Premier League and I think if they don't have Kevin De Bruyne, Manchester City will easily fail the Champions League.

Yes, De Bruyne is very important for Manchester City but losing De Bruyne is not too big problems as long as Haaland can still appear in Manchester City.
It's just that De Bruyne is a very intelligent player to be able to make the squad cooperation very solid and with this De Bruyne haaland becomes very strong because he is like a very perfect player to be able to create scores in every match so that the future of Manchester City can still be said Depending on De Bruyne because to win the title in the Champions League must have the power of cooperation between very strong players.
De Bruyne has always been an intelligent player and can replace the role of Haaland at that time and after the return of Haaland we will see Manchester City will be successful in the Champions League.
