Liverpool v Manchester City - UEFA Champions League Quarter Final Leg One
The midfielder was terribly overshadowed in the two legs against Liverpool

The Belgian has been in imperious form for almost the entirety of the campaign but has slowly faded away in past month or so - due to the fixture congestion as alleged by the Belgian himself.

De Bruyne raced to the top of the assist charts in Europe after providing around 10 assists in the first half of the campaign. In the league, he was comfortably in the lead after the blistering start to the campaign but has failed to really make his advantage tell ever since.

The City maestro had one of the worst weeks in his short City spell, after losing out on winning the league against United and then getting humiliated at the hands of Liverpool.

To be fair to the Belgian, he did miss out on the match against United in the League but failed to affect proceedings - to the level he is now expected to - against Liverpool as well.

Failing to add to their opening goal in the early exchanges, he along with the rest of his team was then picked apart by Liverpool at the Etihad as well as the Cityzens went down 1-5 on aggregate in the quarter-finals.
