Two games in and Manchester City’s king looks as good as ever

The 24/25 season is only two games old but already Manchester City’s king that is Kevin De Bruyne looks as good as ever. The Belgian international has begun the season in fine form which bodes well for what lies ahead this season. If De Bruyne is at his best this season Pep Guardiola’s side will still be blessed with one of the most dangerous attacking weapons in the Premier League.

During Manchester City’s two wins against Chelsea and Ipswich Town, it is clear that De Bruyne is fully fit for what lies ahead. He did have a busy summer with Belgium at the European Championships but he looks to be fresh at the beginning of this season. A decent break after Belgium went out of the tournament appears to have done De Bruyne the world of good.

Manchester City’s king showed signs of his best against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. He put in a lively performance against Chelsea’s expensively assembled midfield. De Bruyne took that to another level against Ipswich Town at the Etihad. While the Tractor Boys don’t have the quality of Chelsea’s squad they did take a surprise lead at the Etihad on Saturday. After that, Manchester City went up a gear, and Ipswich Town couldn’t handle the threat posed by Manchester City.

Kevin De Bruyne was at the heart of City’s three goals in six minutes that effectively ended Saturday’s game. His finish after Savinho’s pressing gave him the easiest of chances was pure class. De Bruyne’s side foot finish with his left foot was a classic De Bruyne finish. His pass to set up Erling Haaland’s second of the afternoon was a work of art. Those two pieces of play highlight that De Bruyne has begun this season in sparkling form.

Kevin De Bruyne has begun this season in fine form. It can’t be expected that at his age that he will play every week, especially when the fixture list ramps up after the international break. But based on the form he has shown during City’s first two Premier League games of the season another big season may be on the cards for De Bruyne. The early signs from Manchester City’s king are promising for what lies ahead this season.
