Kevin De Bruyne scores a penalty against Inter and gets injured in the process. There are dramatic moments surrounding the playmaker of SSC Napoli, who can no longer play.
What a bitter moment for Kevin De Bruyne! The Belgian put SSC Napoli ahead against Inter Milan in the Serie A top match – and yet was completely devastated.
In the 33rd minute, the 34-year-old scored the 1-0 for his team with a penalty, but apparently suffered a serious injury to his right posterior thigh and was close to tears.
De Bruyne had to be supported by two assistants on his way to the locker room. He could no longer put weight on his right foot.
DAZN expert Christian Bernhard quickly recognized: “This is bitter. He immediately grabs it.”
DAZN commentator Carsten Fuß sympathized and said: “Everyone is worried. You can’t imagine it. This is unbelievable. He has to come off. I’ve seen this very, very rarely – if not never. This must be brutal for him. We won’t see him in the coming weeks.”
This continues a crazy first season for the playmaker in Italy.
During a 2-6 defeat against PSV Eindhoven, coach Antonio Conte’s team was overrun on the third matchday of the Champions League during the week. De Bruyne in particular faced criticism afterwards.
A few weeks ago, there was speculation about a dispute between the star and his coach after De Bruyne reacted angrily to being substituted.
On the other hand, the new star also scored four goals and provided assists for Napoli in eleven competitive appearances. The veteran was also celebrated by the fans. Then on Saturday evening came the injury-related setback.
