Manchester City's shining midfielder Kevin De Bruyne has surpassed English football legend.

According to Opta, after last night's UEFA Champions League quarter-final match against Bayern Munich, the Belgian player equaled former Manchester United defender David Beckham.

The response match ended in a 1-1 draw, with Erling Haaland scoring the only goal for the away team, with the assist coming from K. De Bruyne.

This means that in terms of this statistic, considering all achievements in club and national team football careers (259), De Bruyne has surpassed D. Beckham.

However, K. De Bruyne can boast of significantly greater productivity - it took him 15,000 fewer minutes to achieve this result.
