Manchester City midfielder Leroy Sane is convinced Kevin de Bruyne can win the Ballon d'Or.

De Bruyne has been City's outstanding player this season.

Sane told The National: "Kevin is really a special player, an incredible player. The way he plays, when he passes the ball.

"It's really beautiful to see. Even on the opposition team in training, I say to myself: 'OK, how did he manage this pass, how did he do it?'.

"He has a good chance of winning the Ballon d'Or. It will happen."
