Manchester City defeated Brentford on Monday night with a Phil Foden hat-trick leading them to victory. Michail Antonio opened up about Kevin De Bruyne during an arrangement on Sky Sports.

Guardiola’s Manchester City have now moved within just two points of top-of-the-table Liverpool in the Premier League and they also have a game in hand on the Reds.

Foden played a starring role in the game at the Gtech Community Stadium, following an initial goal from Neal Mapuay. His incredible performance was complemented by other great performances from players like Kevin De Bruyne, who contributed a couple of assists for Foden.

In the lead-up to the game, Michail Antonio opened up about the City talisman on Sky Sports. Antonio, who was a special guest on Monday Night Football, discussed his admiration for De Bruyne with Kalvin Phillips, who was on loan to West Ham United and recently joined the team.

Antonio admitted to asking Phillips about how great De Bruyne is. He then emphasized that Phillips told him De Bruyne was an amazing player who has an incredible eye for passes that no one else sees. It was also revealed that Phillips even referred to De Bruyne as the best player he has ever played with.

Antonio’s revelation illustrates the immense respect and admiration that De Bruyne has earned from his fellow professionals. It is clear that the Belgian maestro is not just highly regarded by fans but also by other players in the league. De Bruyne is considered one of the all-time great Premier League players and has been at the top of his game for around four to five years. His exceptional talent and skills on the football pitch continue to impress.

Moreover, De Bruyne has made an excellent start since his return from injury and is expected to make a significant impact in the coming months as City pursues more trophies.
