Kevin De Bruyne Shows Off in Italy…
In a dazzling display that could make even the Roman Colosseum blush, Kevin De Bruyne gave a wonderful show for Napoli while playing against Girona, another City Football Group team. Meanwhile, Manchester City was busy taking on Palermo in Sicily, but it’s clear that De Bruyne was the real headliner across the mainland. Having left the Etihad after a shining decade, De Bruyne is already proving invaluable to Antonio Conte’s plans. In the first 25 minutes of the game, the Belgian superstar managed two goals and an assist, making it look as easy as convincing Italians to love pasta.
De Bruyne’s first blast from the box stunned the crowd, and his second goal came courtesy of a Girona defense that played as if they’d just seen a ghost. Napoli’s run seemed assured, but Girona struck twice to make it a nail-biter. Despite no more goals in the second half, the game’s drama kept fans on the edges of their seats like a thrilling opera. Adding to the excitement, Manchester City loanee Vitor Reis made his debut for Girona, proving that City’s talent factory is more active than a squirrel stockpiling acorns for winter.
