Kevin De Bruyne is thriving at Napoli, smoothly transitioning under Antonio Conte's management. The 34-year-old midfielder, now in a new club, country, and role, is set to face his former team, Manchester City, in the upcoming Champions League match.

After ten successful years at City where De Bruyne became a beloved figure, his departure marked a significant era's end. However, the Belgian has quickly made his mark at Napoli, scoring two goals in three matches as Conte finds a new role that maximizes his capabilities alongside Scott McTominay.

At Manchester City, Pep Guardiola grapples with filling the void left by De Bruyne, exploring various midfield options to maintain their offensive prowess. Meanwhile, City prepares to tactically challenge the very player whose creativity once powered their success.
