Belgian midfielder Kevin De Bruyne proved his worth today for Manchester City, as the former Chelsea and Wolfsburg playmaker scored the game-winning goal for the Sky Blues against Sevilla.
Los Andaluces went ahead with an early goal by Yehven Konoplyanka, but an own goal by Abdil Rami and De Bruyne's left footed shot gave the Citizens all the points.
With this win, Pellegrini's crew keeps all their options of progressing alive, since they currently hold Group D's second place, one point shy of Juventus, still undefeated in the tournament. Meanwhile, Sevilla will try to avenge this last-minute defeat when they host the Sky Blues on November 3.
Fans and experts analyzed De Bruyne's performance today, wondering how some EPL managers were capable of letting him go. Here are some of their thoughts about De Bruyne.
Man like Kevin de Bruyne. What a player. Not sure how anyone could scout him for years, get him cheap, and then overlook his quality.

Class from De Bruyne. Very difficult to dislike City when they've got players like him!

Jose Mourinho after realising he had De Bruyne, didn't rate him so bought Marco Van Ginkel instead pic.twitter.com/999w04GSaP
