Pep Guardiola had a decision to make when he started both the Belgian and David Silva together and the two no.10s played dove-tailed beautifully without getting in each other's way.
8 goals and 16 assists in the league saw City race away to the Premier League title with a record haul of 100 points. De Bruyne was in the running for the Player of the Year award to until a certain Egyptian forward hit the form of his life.
At the World Cup, Belgium experimented with De Bruyne's position a bit but he delivered when it mattered most with a fine long-range goal to knock the stuffing out of Brazil - a goal that eventually sealed Belgium's progress to the semi-finals.
