De Bruyne becomes Belgian with most Premier League appearances

After announcing he's leaving Manchester City this summer, Kevin De Bruyne played his final Manchester derby yesterday.

That appearance at Old Trafford means the Belgian now holds the record for most Premier League appearances by a Belgian, with 281 games—just ahead of Christian Benteke (280), Romelu Lukaku (278), and Vincent Kompany (265).

De Bruyne's Premier League debut was a brief one under José Mourinho at Chelsea, coming on as a sub in a 2-0 win over Fulham.

A short stint at Chelsea was followed by his move to Manchester City in 2015, where he really made his mark.

Over 10 seasons at the Etihad, he's helped City win six Premier League titles, two FA Cups, five EFL Cups, and one Champions League. And he could still add another FA Cup before he leaves.
