De Bruyne is one of the three or five best players in Manchester City's history: Pep Guardiola

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has praised Kevin De Bruyne for his team's success, with the Belgian scoring a goal and providing an assist in the 3-1 FA Cup win over Plymouth on Saturday.

"De Bruyne is one of the three or five best players in Manchester City's history, there's no doubt about that. Every time Kevin plays well, I'm the happiest person on the planet."

"He brought a lot of benefit to me and the team," Gazeta.Ru quotes the Portuguese specialist as saying.
