“Kevin de Bruyne did not make the starting lineup against ‘Real’ because I made a tactical decision. He was not injured. It was my decision. There is nothing personal here. My relationship with Kevin is exceptional.

Yes, of course, he can play in big matches… He played against ‘Real’ at home. Of course, he can play,” quotes Pep Manchester Evening News.
