Pep Guardiola has hailed the 'exceptional' Kevin De Bruyne ahead of Manchester City's trip to face Newcastle United at St James' Park this weekend. "It was really good and now, as I said before, he needs to accumulate training sessions and more training sessions, more than games. "Kevin helps to win games and there are few (like him) in the world. We can play good football-wise but Kevin, (Erling) Haaland, Phil (Foden), Julian (Alvarez) - these guys win games. His first minutes, the quality of the assist for the Jeremy (Doku) goal - it's really good to have him back."
