Kevin De Bruyne equals Cristiano Ronaldo and Thierry Henry records.
Kevin De Bruyne has been installed the Professional Footballers’ Association’s Players’ Player of the Year for a second consecutive season.
The Man City playmaker assisted his side to win the Premier League and Carabao Cup in a hugely triumphant 2020/21 campaign.
Only De Bruyne, Thierry Henry, and Cristiano Ronaldo have won the prestigious prize for two continuous seasons.
The Belgium international said:
“I am becoming more of a leader on the pitch, off the pitch. I am learning a lot about myself, about the way the team is run and it can only help me for the future.
“You want to win all the trophies with the team and then obviously if you win a trophy like this, this is probably the most important one as an individual trophy in the league.
“To be voted by your competitors who you compete with every game, that says a lot.
“They are the people, in my view, who know the most about the game and they are trying to get to the best level.

De Bruyne scored six goals and recorded 12 assists in 25 Premier League appearances as Man City won a third top-flight title in four years last season.
The 29-year-old beat Man City teammates Foden, Ilkay Gundogan, and Ruben Dias, who were named on a six-man shortlist alongside Tottenham’s Harry Kane and Manchester United’s Bruno Fernandes.
Meanwhile, Phil Foden won the PFA’s Young Player of the Year award.
The 21-year-old became an essential part in Pep Guardiola’s side and scored 16 goals in all competitions last season.
Foden pipped Chelsea’s Mason Mount, Liverpool’s Trent Alexander-Arnold, Arsenal’s Bukayo Saka, West Ham’s Declan Rice, and Manchester United’s Mason Greenwood to win the prize.
He said: “I’m really honored.
“There have been some great players in the past that have won it and I feel really lucky to win it because there have been so many great young talents this year. It’s a special moment.”
