5 Amazing EPL Superstars Who Refused To Be Compared With Messi And Ronaldo This Season (Quotes/Interviews)

#4 Kevin De Bruyne

De Bruyne is one of the best performers across Europe this season.

Manchester City have reached an incredible level during this campaign. The Etihad outfit has been in a league of their own in the English top flight. Under Pep Guardiola, the English side has introduced themselves as one of the best attacking teams in Europe.

Their possession-based and pro-attacking style of play has proved to be a big factor in their success this season. They enjoy a lot of possession, play decent passes, score amazing goals and win with style. In fact, they have played one of the most beautiful brands of football across Europe this season.

In the midst of several talents and brilliant footballers in their squad, special praise goes to one man who has been in the center of everything - Kevin De Bruyne.

Kevin De Bruyne has been one of the most impressive players across Europe this season. His excellent performances have been highly influential. He has scored 11 goals for The Citizens throughout the campaign. He is currently atop the assist chart in the Premier League with a stunning 15 assists to his name.

His excellence has brought a lot of praise, with many fans and journalists comparing him with Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi. However, the player responded brilliantly after he was asked about the comparisons, saying:

"It is impossible to compare me with them," he told Het Belang van Limburg.

"Our positions are completely different.

"They are much higher on the pitch and score ten times more than me.

"If I make 10 in a season, they score a hundred. But then I have other tasks on the pitch."
