Pep Guardiola praised Kevin De Bruyne's passing ability as only second to Lionel Messi, ahead of De Bruyne's last match for Manchester City. De Bruyne announced his departure after a decade at the club, during which he earned 16 trophies. Guardiola lauded De Bruyne's unique talent, impressive statistics, and contributions, noting that replacing him will be challenging for the team. With 82.4% passing accuracy and over 100 assists in 258 league appearances, De Bruyne's impact at City has been monumental, marking him as one of the club's greatest players.
"One is Messi... OK, let me put Kevin second. Messi is the best I have ever seen because Messi has done it really, really close to the box, but Kevin is there."
"That is unique, that is why he has been one of the best players this club has had in the whole history. These are big, big words, because he has been a special player."
