Thierry Henry and Jamie Carragher debate Kevin De Bruyne's place in football history after Real goal

Thierry Henry and Jamie Carragher have debated where Kevin De Bruyne ranks alongside the greatest midfielders in football history after his sensational strike for Manchester City against Real Madrid.

De Bruyne's second half thunderbolt hauled City level with Real in the Champions League semi-final, with the game finishing level at 1-1 after the first leg in Spain.

Henry used to coach De Bruyne when he was an assistant with the Belgium national team, and compared him with the iconic Barcelona midfielders in Xavi and Andres Iniesta that used to be his teammates.
