Ansu Fati, currently on loan at Brighton & Hove Albion from Barcelona, recently named Manchester City midfielder Kevin De Bruyne as a player he thinks is better than Angel Di Maria. Fati ranked De Bruyne ahead of Di Maria in a blind ranking exercise, praising De Bruyne’s performances in the Premier League. Di Maria, who has played for top clubs like Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain, and Manchester United, has had a successful career with 178 goals and 266 assists in 765 club appearances.

Kevin De Bruyne, who has scored 101 goals and provided 166 assists in 375 appearances for Manchester City, has won five Premier League titles with the club. Former Premier League player Frank Lampard has also praised De Bruyne as one of the best midfielders in the history of the league. Despite Di Maria’s impressive career and achievements in Europe, Fati’s rating of De Bruyne higher than the Argentine is understandable given De Bruyne’s success in England and his contributions to City’s achievements.

De Bruyne, signed by Manchester City for £54 million in 2015, has established himself as one of the greatest Premier League players. With his goal-scoring ability, playmaking skills, and title-winning performances, De Bruyne has earned a reputation as a top midfielder in the league. Fati’s acknowledgment of De Bruyne’s talent and impact in the Premier League showcases the admiration and respect the young winger has for the Belgian player.
