Manchester –
Kevin De Bruyne realize that Manchester City still attached to the status of a cage champion. Then the trophy Liga Champions must-have this season.
Since being taken over by the Abu Dhabi United Group in 2008, City have indeed become a new force in English football. With unlimited funds, he brought City to five Premier League trophies, the most among other top teams.
In addition, there are two FA Cup titles, six English League Cup trophies and two Community Shields. A series of star players were brought in to strengthen the team.

Moreover Citizens are trained Pep Guardiola who has won the Champions League twice with Barcelona.
“I think (the Champions League title) will change the view from the outside about us,” said Kevin De Bruyne as quoted ESPN.
“As players you want to win a lot of trophies and we really want to win the Champions League. The fact we have competed here for many years and qualified for the final, it means we are doing very well.”
“This is a cup competition and the quality is very high, so it’s difficult to win it. But if you look at our performances and mine over the last seven years, we have done very well. We haven’t won yet, but people’s views about us can change with the trophy. “
