Man City superstar and standout performer, Kevin De Bruyne, recently revealed his ambitious dream of netting 100 goals for the club, placing himself ahead of his talented teammates, Erling Haaland and Phil Foden.

De Bruyne shared his aspirations following a stellar performance in City’s Premier League triumph over Crystal Palace, Footballrover reports.

During the match, he notched two exceptional goals to hit the mark and went on to assist Erling Haaland’s strike, propelling City to a 4-2 comeback victory.

Rico Lewis was also on target for Pep Guardiola’s side at Selhurst Park.

In a post-match interview, the Belgian maestro reflected on his dreams,

“Yeah, it’s funny. I had a conversation with Erling Haaland and Phil Foden and said, the only goal I want is to score 100 before you guys.”

He acknowledged Haaland’s impressive form, jesting that the young striker might achieve the feat in just two games.

Reflecting on his tenure at the club, De Bruyne expressed pride in his journey and the memorable moments it has brought.

He also commended Foden for pushing him to excel, given the latter’s consistent performances this season.

De Bruyne joins other former players, Sergio Kun Aguero, Raheem Sterling, and Shaun Goater, to hit the 100-goal mark for City.

As Manchester City remains embroiled in a tight Premier League title race, their recent win has propelled them level on points with second-placed Liverpool.

The focus now shifts to their upcoming Champions League quarterfinal clash against Real Madrid on April 9, following their impressive goal-scoring spree in the last two fixtures.
