Kevin De Bruyne, the current midfielder for Manchester City and widely regarded as one of the best players in the world, is on the brink of adding another accolade to his already illustrious career.

During City's recent match, where they defeated Luton Town 6-2 in the Fifth Round of the FA Cup, the Belgian player notched up an impressive four assists.

This accomplishment brings De Bruyne to a total of 202 assists in the last 10 years, across 441 games. He now stands just one assist away from Lionel Messi, who has 203 assists in 448 games.

Since Messi's move to Inter Miami in the MLS, his numbers have seen a noticeable decline, a logical outcome considering the competition's schedule. This presents the perfect opportunity for De Bruyne to surpass the Argentine maestro, with fewer matches played.
