Manchester City playmaker, Kevin de Bruyne has revealed why he would like to play with five-time Ballon d'Or winner Cristiano Ronaldo.

The Belgian revealed this during an interview from with Jamie Redknapp on Sky Sports' 'The Football Show' while under lockdown due to coronavirus pandemic.

Who would you like to play with: "I mainly look at strikers, like Henry, or like Cristiano Ronaldo. For me, as a creative player, you know that he will always be there, and I want someone quick to play with in-depth, that It would help me a lot. For my work, the most important thing is the forwards.

With whom would he improve his assists statistic: "Cristiano, I could put a centre three meters high and you know he would still finish him off."

His current moment: "In all aspects of the game I feel more comfortable. At Wolfsburg, I did well, but I had more ups and downs. But now I have spent a few seasons at a constant level."

Cristiano Ronaldo is a proven lethal goal-scoring machine that scored 312 goals in 292 appearances for his previous club, Real Madrid.

Ronaldo holds the records for the most goals scored in the UEFA Champions League (128) and the joint-most goals scored in the UEFA European Championship (9).

He is one of the few recorded players to have made over 1,000 professional career appearances and has scored over 700 senior career goals for club and country.
