The 2017-18 season was a masterclass from Kevin De Bruyne, who served as the creative heartbeat of Manchester City’s historic Centurions side that reached a record 100 Premier League points. His talismanic influence was defined by a league-high 16 assists and clinical strikes against former club Chelsea and Arsenal, earning him a place in the PFA Team of the Year and his first Premier League title. This era is fondly remembered for De Bruyne’s world-class vision and technical grace, most notably his breathtaking performance in the 7-2 demolition of Stoke City where his trademark precision orchestrated one of the most dominant campaigns in English football history.
