Kevin De Bruyne will have to lift trophies if he is to be considered one of the world’s greatest players, Man City manager Pep Guardiola has said.
Guardiola, asked whether De Bruyne could become the best player in the world, said no one can compare to Lionel Messi and told a news conference: “The best is just one.
“If you want Kevin to be considered one of the best, he has to win titles. We are here to help him achieve that.
“But he is one of the best. It would be a dream for me, I would love all the players — not just Kevin — to achieve the level of Messi.
“I don’t want to put the pressure on Kevin. He is an amazing player, a humble guy, all his teammates love him. He wants to play every game and fight until the end.
“But Messi is apart. He is a guy who scored 60 goals for the last eight, nine, 10 seasons. I want to help Kevin all I can to get to the highest level possible.”
