The former Wolfsburg also said this in an interview:

"You want to win all the trophies with the team. And then obviously, if you win a trophy like this, this is probably the most important one as an individual trophy in the league. To be voted by your competitors, by players we compete with every game, to choose you-that says a lot."

De Bruyne played a vital role in Manchester City's Premier League-winning campaign playing 25 games where she scored six and assisted 12, creating 80 chances.
