De Bruyne eases Haaland hype at Man City: Aguero sets the standard

Manchester City midfielder Kevin de Bruyne has sought to ease the hype around Erling Haaland.

Haaland scored a wonder goal in victory over Borussia Dortmund in last night's Champions League clash.

The Norway striker is being celebrated today, but De Bruyne wasn't getting carried away.

He told RTL 7: "I've been playing here for eight years. I've played with top players.

"If you play with someone like Aguero, who has scored 200 goals for this club, I think that's the level.

"But okay, in the end he's a sensation right now. He's in the right places to score."
