He helped Manchester City win their fourth Premier League title in five years last season after regaining his form. In the 2022–23 season, De Bruyne continues to shine and play extremely well. The combination of Bruyne and star striker Erling Haaland created a duo that posed a threat to any club's net.

Genius moments De Bruyne's solo in the matches against Chelsea and Leicester, his dominating performance in the match against Manchester United, the moment he destroyed Liverpool in the previous match, and the four goals he scored away from Wolves are all clear indications of why he was voted "Man City Player of the Year" this year.
