Walker spoke highly of De Bruyne, expressing how instrumental the Belgian is to his teams.
Speaking on the sidelines of the FIFA The Best awards, Kyle Walker pointed towards the impact of Kevin De Bruyne in their 3-2 win over Newcastle United.
He said: “I think there's only certain players, the likes of Messi and Ronaldo, that you can say are in the same bracket as Kevin – Kevin goes into that bracket for me.
“When he came on against Newcastle, you could feel that push, you could feel that energy and that excitement.
“He gives you a lift and Kevin is at his best when he's on the ball playing passes that you don't think are even visible to play.”
De Bruyne has been outstanding all through the years he has been at Manchester City, scoring important goals and creating mouthwatering opportunities.
The former Chelsea man joined the Cityzens from VFL Wolfsburg on August 30, 2015, for a fee of €76 million.
He has won lots of titles at Manchester City and produced timeless and graven performances in the process.
Kevin De Bruyne has scored 97 goals and provided 155 assists in 360 appearances across all competitions.
The Belgian is considered to be one of the best midfielders of his generation, and he has been termed a complete midfielder by many due to him having several facets to his game.
De Bruyne has played for a handful of clubs in his career, namely; Genk, Chelsea, Werder Bremen, VfL Wolfsburg, and Manchester City.
The 32-year-old has won many notable awards in his illustrious career, including; 2 Premier League Player of the Season, 1 Bundesliga Player of the Year and he also came 3rd in the Ballon d'Or shortlist for 2022.
Certainly, he is a fine footballer, fantastic in all ramifications, and truly remarkable beyond borders.
Kevin De Bruyne last showed his brilliance in Manchester City's last encounter against Newcastle United, where he scored a magnificent goal and provided an assist in the second 45.
The Belgium international was introduced in the 69th minute of the game, replacing Bernardo Silva and he put in an incredible shift to turn the game around for Pep Guardiola's side.
Meanwhile, De Bruyne hasn't been able to make his excellence noticeable on the international scene, with him producing average performances for the Belgian Red Devils on many occasions.
The Manchester City captain is amongst the players of the Belgium “golden generation”, who failed to deliver at the top level.
Anyway, the Drongen-born man has made 99 appearances for Belgium, scoring 26 goals and providing 49 assists.
