Manchester City, International Roundup, Part 1

Kevin De Bruyne still as important as ever. Thanks to a missile of a shot, the Kevin De Bruyne strike helped get Belgium’s 2022 World Cup qualifying campaign off to a successful start with a 3-1 victory over Wales.

Oleksandr Zinchenko was the final City player in action on Wednesday and it was proud moment for the Ukrainian as he captained his country for the first time. A great honor for Oleks.

The fullback completed 90 minutes in midfield as Andriy Shevchenko’s side fought back to claim a point against defending world champions, France.

He played well.

A pretty great day for all Manchester City players with notable contributions and no injuries. Let’s hope that continues.
