Kevin De Bruyne has proven to be quite reliable for Manchester City, and his new goal against Real Madrid certainly cements that reputation.
The footballer managed to send the ball into the back of Thibaut Courtois' net with a thunderous right-footed shot from outside the box to make things at the Bernabeu 1-1. While fans will certainly appreciate his contribution to this game, they will also heap praise on the footballer's timing to help the Cityzens in their quest for glory in the continental competition.
As of now, the Belgian footballer has been quite on point when it comes to score goals for Manchester City since he joined them, but to top it all, he has been key for the English club in almost every game he has been able to score in this tournament.
Kevin De Bruyne has scored 11 of his 14 UCL goals for Manchester City in the knockout stages.

This goal will undoubtedly go down in history as one of the biggest for the Belgian, and who knows, it could also be crucial for their hopes to reach the final this year. Have a look at De Bruyne's stunner against Real Madrid (Image might be geo-restricted).
