The international football world is “shaken” after the surprising statement of Kevin De Bruyne, Manchester City’s brightest star, when he frankly mentioned Cristiano Ronaldo with admiration mixed with a bit of challenge:

“I don’t compete with Cristiano Ronaldo. If I pass to him, he will make my assists skyrocket!”
This statement immediately spread at a dizzying speed, making fans around the world excited. One of the “assist kings” of modern football praised “the world’s greatest goal scorer” – that is the dream scenario that everyone wants to see on the pitch.
🔥 De Bruyne and Ronaldo – The combination of perfection and instinct

In football, there are few players who possess the ability to pass the ball delicately, sharply and accurately like De Bruyne. With a masterful tactical vision, he can create a scoring opportunity from just a seemingly impossible through ball. And if at the other end is Cristiano Ronaldo – who never misses a chance to score – then that would be a devastating duo for any defence.
De Bruyne continued in the interview:
“If I were to play with Cristiano, I’m sure he would score every time. I just have to pass the ball at the right time, he’ll do the rest.”
De Bruyne’s respect for Ronaldo is no coincidence. Despite being from two different generations, both are icons of professionalism and hard work. Ronaldo – at 40 – still maintains incredible fitness and form, while De Bruyne – despite being at his peak – remains humble and never stops learning.
⚽ “I will win because he will never stop scoring goals”
De Bruyne also made fans “crazy” when revealing the reason why he is confident if he plays alongside Ronaldo:
“I know one thing for sure – if he is on my team, I will win. Because he never stops scoring goals, never gives up.”
That is the winning spirit that De Bruyne admires in CR7. To him, Ronaldo is not only an excellent player, but also an inspiration to the entire football world – a symbol of perseverance, dedication and absolute belief in himself.
💬 Reactions from fans
Immediately after the interview was published, social networks exploded with millions of comments:
“Imagine De Bruyne passes – Ronaldo shoots. No team can stop him!”
“This is the dream duo that FIFA should show us at least once in our lives!”
“If this really happens, all the assist and scoring records will be broken in just a few months!”
Some fans even likened: “If Ronaldo is a gun, then De Bruyne is an endless magazine.”
🏆 Can this scenario become a reality?
Many rumors say that De Bruyne may leave Manchester City in 2025 to find a new challenge, even having invitations from teams in Saudi Arabia, where Ronaldo is playing. If that happens, the scenario of “De Bruyne – Ronaldo on the same side” can completely become a reality.
Experts say that if the two appear together, it will be a historic combination, like the time when Zidane shook hands with “fat” Ronaldo at Real Madrid – two genius minds creating a football that makes the whole world admire.

If that day really comes, every defense in the world will tremble, because there is nothing more dangerous – when “the best creator in the world” passes the ball to “the greatest goal machine on the planet.”
