Kevin de Bruyne will go down as 'Manchester City’s greatest ever player' according to Jamie Carragher... but Micah Richards says the midfield maestro must deliver Champions League glory to pip David Silva and Yaya Toure

Jamie Carragher says Kevin de Bruyne will go down in history as 'Manchester City’s greatest ever player' after his performance against Atletico Madrid on Tuesday night.

Carragher hailed De Bruyne as the 'best midfielder in the world' after he scored a 70th-minute winner in a tense Champions League quarter-final first leg at the Etihad Stadium.

However, Micah Richards has said that De Bruyne will only go down in history as one of Manchester City's finest if he delivers a Champions League trophy - claiming David Silva and Yaya Toure are currently above him in ranking.
