The history of the Premier League Player of the Year award is no different. Attackers have dominated. Since the award was first presented in 1994-95, 11 attackers have won the award 13 times. Midfielders have won 9 times, defenders 5 times and goalkeepers 1 time. Frankly, most fans are obsessed with the players who score the most goals, and regardless of tactics, systems or top managers, the main thing in a football match is to score goals and win. So, most fans are subconsciously obsessed with the goals and scorers. Messi and Ronaldo have many people who have helped them become the greatest players, and among them, the goal-scorers and midfielders are essential. Xavi and Iniesta are the best partners for Messi, while the likes of Rooney, Paul Scholes, Modric and Di Maria are also essential for Ronaldo. Manchester City would not be without De Bruyne. De Bruyne has been creating goals since he arrived at the club and is also the most prolific goalscorer in Premier League history.

The GOAT of coaching, Guardiola, has spoken about De Bruyne. De Bruyne can score goals. He can create chances. He can provide assists. He plays well in the game. He has a great vision and ability to read the game. De Bruyne has shown world-class ability on a regular basis. Despite his injury woes, he has always been a force to be reckoned with. De Bruyne has come close to winning the Ballon d’Or. A key player in the Manchester City side, De Bruyne has been instrumental in City’s treble dream. De Bruyne finished third in the 2022 Ballon d’Or behind Benzema and Mane. The one who quietly contributes to success is not very popular and does not do it in public. Haaland’s goals have stopped in De Bruyne’s absence, which makes De Bruyne’s value even more evident. De Bruyne was the one who quietly contributed to City, and the Ballon d’Or is a reward he deserved but did not get.
