Man City Kevin De Bruyne named 2021 PFA player of the Year
Manchester City midfielder Kevin De Bruyne has been named PFA Men’s footballer of the Year for the second successive season.
De Bruyne
, who also won the PFA award last year, joins the prestigious company because only five-time Ballon d'Or winner
Cristiano Ronaldo
and World Cup winner
Thierry Henry
have previously won it twice in a row.
The Belgian international scored six league goals and provided 12 assists as City romped to the title, while
Pep Guardiola
’s side also lifted the League Cup and reached the Champions League final for the first time.
The City star expressed his delight after he beat team-mates
Ruben Dias
,
Ilkay Gundogan
, and
Phil Foden
, as well as
Harry Kane
and
Bruno Fernandes
to win the award.
"The fact the players chose me for this award means that I've done very well,"
said the 29-year-old
.
"You want to win all the trophies with the team and this is probably the most important one as an individual trophy in the league. To be voted by your competitors, by players who you compete with every game - to choose you, that says a lot.
"They're the people in my view who know the most about the game.
"When you have these things you can show your kids and say 'Look! this is what Daddy did when he was younger'."
