De Bruyne creates milestone to equal Messi

In the early morning of May 3, the Belgian midfielder scored the only goal to help Man City defeat Wolves 1-0 in round 35 of the Premier League.

Man City maintained their stable performance when marking their fourth consecutive win, while consolidating their position in the top 4. Pep Guardiola's team ranked 3rd with 64 points, 4 points ahead of the 6th ranked team, Nottingham, and having played one more match.

As for Kevin De Bruyne, he created a memorable milestone when he participated in a total of 250 goals. Among Pep Guardiola's students, only Lionel Messi has done the same.

De Bruyne shone before leaving Etihad at the end of the season.

From the very first minutes, both teams entered the game with determination. City's Ruben Dias and Wolves' Matheus Cunha both tried their luck with shots from distance, although they missed.

With a comfortable mentality after successfully staying in the league, Wolves showed no fear of the home team's strength and had clear chances to go ahead. Jean-Ricner Bellegarde cleverly broke the offside trap, but his cross could not reach Marshall Munetsi in a good position. Rayan Ait-Nouri also left his mark when his left-footed shot hit the post and then immediately followed up with a right-footed shot that forced Josko Gvardiol to save on the goal line.

Despite struggling to get going early on, City slowly regained control of the game. They continued to apply pressure towards the end of the first half, with Nico O'Reilly forcing goalkeeper Jose Sa to show his skills. In the final minute of the first half, Jeremy Doku crossed for Kevin De Bruyne to coolly finish into the bottom corner, opening the scoring for the Etihad team.

After the break, Wolves continued to be dangerous on the counter-attack. Matheus Cunha once again sent shockwaves through the Etihad when he hit the post from a tight angle. However, that was all the visitors could muster. Manchester City dominated the rest of the game, with Omar Marmoush and Mateo Kovacic having chances, but were unable to add to their tally.
