With four goals and a sensational performance, Kevin de Bruyne almost single-handedly kept Manchester City on course for the English Premier League title.
In the 5-1 (3-1) win at Wolverhampton Wanderers on Wednesday evening, the Belgian international scored three times with the left (7th/16th/24th) and once with the right (62nd).
The 30-year-old celebrated one of his goals by stretching his arms to the side in a meditating gesture. Clearly a message to Erling Haaland, who will switch from BVB to ManCity in the summer. The 21-year-old once celebrated a goal in the Champions League against Paris Saint-Germain and was sharply criticized by PSG. De Bruyne’s imitation, on the other hand, is probably meant to be more inviting.
Man City are three points and seven goals ahead of Champions League finalists Liverpool with two games remaining. Leander Dendoncker (11th) scored for Wolverhampton to make it 1-1 in the meantime, City striker Raheem Sterling (84th) made the final score.
Chelsea will also be represented again in the premier class. The team of German team manager Thomas Tuchel won 3-0 (1-0) at Leeds United and can only theoretically be pushed out of one of the top four places in the table. Leeds are struggling as 18th in the table. against descent.
