Kevin Debruyne comments Arteta’s Arsenal despite touchline incident.

Manchester City midfielder Kevin De Bruyne has given his thoughts on Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta following a heated exchange during their clash at the Emirates Stadium on Wednesday.

De Bruyne played a crucial role in Manchester City’s 3-1 victory over the Gunners, scoring the opener and providing an assist for Erling Haaland’s goal. The win allowed City to regain their position at the top of the Premier League table.

The game was a high-stakes encounter, with tensions running high on both sides, particularly on the touchline with Arteta known for getting emotional during games.

However, De Bruyne allowed his emotions to get the better of him during the second half when he pushed Arteta after the Spaniard kicked the ball away at a throw-in in an attempt to slow down City’s momentum.

Despite the incident, the Belgian international has spoken positively about Arsenal, calling them “exceptional” and complimenting their style of play.

In an interview following the match, De Bruyne said, “I think every year gets tougher because of the quality of the teams. Everyone does such good business and gets so much quality in it. It’s hard to play against every team. Doing what we did in the last years… when we come up against every team, they want to beat us. We know that, so to keep doing what we do is great, but we need to keep going. Arsenal are exceptional. They play such good football, and it is hard to play against them. They have such energy, young guys. They do what they need to do.”

This incident has certainly added fuel to the already heated rivalry between the two sides and will be sure to add extra spice to future encounters.
