Kevin De Bruyne has admitted that this season has been tougher than ever and warned that Arsenal are also pushing them but Manchester City had an extra gear to win it.
City overtook Arsenal at the top of the Premier League with a 3-1 victory over their surprise title rivals on Wednesday night. De Bruyne, who shoved Mikel Arteta after coming off, said: “I think every year gets tougher because of the quality of the teams. Everyone does such good business and gets so much quality in it. It’s hard to play against every team.
“Doing what we did in the last years, when we come up against every team they want to beat us. We know that, so to keep doing what we do is great but we need to keep going.
