The Manchester City boss says the Belgian has been the best player this season, and that he is “a champion”, but the Eygptian is equally deserving
Pep Guardiola, however, does not agree with the outcome. The Catalan has long railed against individual awards but still felt compelled to point out his belief De Bruyne would have been a more deserving recipient.
“You know my opinion about these awards,” he said, suggesting he might duck the question. But he pressed ahead: “If he doesn’t win, congratulations to the guy who is going to win, but from my point of view when you are analysing [the last] nine or 10 months, there was no player better than him, in terms of the continuity, in terms of being there every three days of all competitions.
“I am sorry. Maybe in numbers there are guys better than him, but [there is no better] player in this season. For me he was the best, it is my opinion but the opinions of the players could be different.
“I would like to feel that he deserves it but at the end, in the summer time, he will be at home, being a champion.”
