#5 Kevin de Bruyne and David Silva integral to City’s chances in the Champions League
Trending
City’s display on Wednesday was further evidence of the impact playmakers David Silva and Kevin de Bruyne have on their style of play. While Silva pulls the strings in midfield by dictating play and providing the pinpoint pass for initiating an attack, De Bruyne continues to get himself into dangerous positions and deliver accurate crosses for the likes of Aguero to feed upon.
Silva also has the tendency to directly be part of the attack started by him, joining Aguero in the penalty area to appear as a second target for the fullbacks and attacking midfielders. His timely presence in the six-yard box to turn in de Bruyne’s cross helped City earn the point that clinched their progress into the knockout stages of the Champions League.
With Yaya Toure also back in the first-team action and set to be added to the Champions League squad when they are available for amendment in January, Guardiola knows that the dynamic trio is key to City’s hopes of improving on their semi-final run last season.
