​De Bruyne hails Guardiola for Man City super-subs after panic against Aston Villa | OneFootball

Manchester City star Kevin De Bruyne admits that the players were panicking as they felt the Premier League title slipping on the final day.

City were 2-0 down to Aston Villa at home in the 70th minute, thanks to goals from Matty Cash and Philippe Coutinho.

However, a rousing comeback saw them score thrice in five minutes to win the game 3-2 and secure the title by one point over Liverpool.

De Bruyne said on panicking, per Evening Standard: "Maybe a couple of times. It's so different you can't explain it.

"You try to stay as calm as possible but I think for about 10 seconds you doubt yourself, then you just go for it."

"2-1 changed the whole situation for me," De Bruyne added.

"The stadium changes, the atmosphere, the players, then we just didn't look back. Ilkay [Gundogan] and [Oli] Zinchenko changed the game."
