Manchester City star was asked who he would prefer to play together with, between Messi and Ronaldo.
When asked which player, Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo, he would love to play with, Kevin De Bruyne had an excellent response.
Ronaldo was chosen by the Manchester City master because Messi was mentioned as a playmaker.
Because the star of Manchester United is more of a “traditional striker” and the star of Paris Saint-Germain is more of a playmaker, he prefers to play alongside the Manchester United player.
The Belgian international responded, “I would definitely pick Ronaldo because he’s more of a classic striker. Messi is still a playmaker more so.

De Bruyne has been a standout for the Blues this season, and after his outstanding performance against Bournemouth last month, he was compared to Messi.

“He’ll just carry the ball around and play with it. He is crucial to them.
