Rio Ferdinand had branded one Man City star as 'the most important player in the Premier League' following his excellent performance during City's 3-1 victory against FC Copenhagen on Tuesday night.
City produced a controlled and professional performance to brush past the Danish side and give themselves a 2-0 cushion for the return leg of their Champions League tie.
Kevin De Bruyne opened the scoring after ten minutes with a precise strike across the face of the goal, before Magnus Mattson would pull one back for the home side.
