Kevin De Bruyne and Manchester City's unfinished Champions League business The star midfielder is aiming to help Manchester City win a historic treble of Champions League, Premier League and FA Cup /news/talking-point/kevin-de-bruyne-manchester-city-champions-league-real-madrid-111684240665628.html 111684240665628 storyReal Madrid managed to blunt Manchester City's goalscoring phenom Erling Haaland in the first leg of their Champions League semi-final, but there was no stopping the brilliance of Kevin De Bruyne. Pep Guardiola's men are four matches away from becoming just the second side to ever win the treble of Premier League, Champions League and FA Cup in the same season. Real's own run to Champions League glory last season was fuelled by goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois' perceived slight at his reputation in England. He scored twice as the defending champions landed a telling blow on Arsenal in the Premier League title race last month. Much like his manager, De Bruyne's achievements at City have always come with the caveat of never having won the Champions League.
