Kevin de Bruyne was asked whether he would rather win the Premier League or Champions League.

On Saturday afternoon, Manchester City came from behind to beat Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park.

The hosts were in front inside four minutes thanks to Jean-Philippe Mateta.

10 minutes later, De Bruyne made it 1-1 with a brilliant long-range effort.

In the second half, goals from Rico Lewis, Erling Haaland and another from De Bruyne made it 4-1. Odsonne Edouard added a late goal but City came away 4-2 winners.

After the match, De Bruyne was asked about whether he would rather win the Premier League or Champions League during his interview with TNT Sports.

He said: “Maybe the Champions League. It's hard to say. I'll take any.”

Former Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand then joked De Bruyne was ‘bored’ of winning the Premier League.

The Belgian replied: “No, no I'm not bored.

“If we were bored we would not push like today. We'll see.”

Speaking after the match, City boss Pep Guardiola said: “Without him we would not be able to win this. You talk about managers but players like Kevin make this game easy.

“He has been one of the best players in the history of City.”

He added: “To sustain this for nine years at City, and have that consistency is amazing. The first goal is unbelievable. The assist is unbelievable. Really good.

“Mentally for sure [Kevin is fresh]. Kevin is like everyone, on the bus in the locker room and laugh. The body language dictates a lot how he is. All the players, especially Kevin, hopefully they can sustain it. 100 goals is a lot and a lot of assists too. Really good.

“We were not solid like normally in terms of defensively and on the transition, that’s how we gave away the first goal. [Playing] Three days, three days, three days. We had the mental energy. It’s more than physicality, it’s demanding.”
