Kevin De Bruyne is playing on through a 'private' personal issue as he leads Man City's chase of the Treble, reveals Thierry Henry, after he told boss Pep Guardiola to 'shut up' before emotional embraces on the touchline

Thierry Henry has revealed Kevin De Bruyne is playing through a 'private' personal issue after the pair shared an emotional embrace following Manchester City's Champions League semi-final win over Real Madrid.

City secured a 5-1 win on aggregate over the reigning European champions with De Bruyne playing a key role.

The Belgian star scored City's equaliser in the 1-1 draw in last week's first leg, before providing the assist for Bernardo Silva's crucial opening goal at the Etihad.

The goal provided the platform for City's 4-0 win on the night, as Pep Guardiola's side set up a final against Inter Milan.
