Kevin De Bruyne has sent a heartfelt message to Manchester City fans after his brilliant performance in their 3-0 victory over Nottingham Forest on Wednesday. The Belgian playmaker was in top form, leading his team to a much-needed win that helped them bounce back from a tough period in the Premier League.
De Bruyne was instrumental in Manchester City’s dominant performance. Not only did he provide a key assist for Bernardo Silva’s goal with a pinpoint header, but he also scored a goal himself, showing just how crucial he is to City’s success. His strike was a reminder of his attacking quality, as he found space in the box and calmly rifled the ball into the net. This goal capped off a performance that deservedly earned him a standing ovation from the home crowd at the Etihad Stadium.
In his post-match message, De Bruyne took to Manchester City’s official media to thank the fans for their unwavering support. “Hi, Kevin [De Bruyne] here. Just want to say thank you to all the fans who came on a rainy midweek day but appreciate it. Good result for the team and see you guys on Saturday at [Crystal] Palace,” he said. His words were met with gratitude from supporters, who have been eagerly awaiting his return to full fitness and form.

De Bruyne’s return to action has been a major boost for City. After a tough run of results, where they struggled to find their rhythm, De Bruyne’s return to the starting lineup helped lift the team. Micah Richards, a former Manchester City player, praised the impact of De Bruyne’s presence, stating that apart from the injured Rodri, the team had greatly missed the Belgian’s influence on the pitch.
Pep Guardiola also spoke highly of De Bruyne’s performance ahead of the Nottingham Forest match, putting to rest any rumors of a rift between him and the club’s vice-captain. Guardiola has always recognized the importance of De Bruyne to the team, and his return has been a vital factor in City’s ability to get back on track.
In addition to his own performance, De Bruyne also praised his teammates Jack Grealish and Jeremy Doku for their contributions. “I made a couple of mistakes in the first half but I think Jack [Grealish] did a really good job at carrying the ball and controlling it a bit,” De Bruyne said. “Then you have Jeremy [Doku] who’s a very different type of player, he’s very electric. So you have a little bit of a mix today. I think we did well under the circumstances.” His acknowledgment of their performances shows his leadership and willingness to support his teammates, helping to boost the confidence of those around him.
Kevin De Bruyne’s message to the fans and his outstanding performance on the pitch are clear indications of his importance to Manchester City. As the team prepares for their upcoming match against Crystal Palace, De Bruyne’s leadership and skill will undoubtedly be key in their pursuit of more victories this season.
