De Bruyne won the award for the second consecutive season, repeating the achievement of Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo with Manchester United, and retired French star Thierry Henry when he was an Arsenal player.

Sports analysts and activists criticized the association's selection of De Bruyne, pointing out that there are other players who deserve to win the award, far superior to the Belgian star, such as his teammate, Portuguese defender Ruben Diaz, and Premier League top scorer Harry Kane, in addition to Manchester United player Bruno Fernandes.

Only three Premier League players have won back-to-back PFA Players' Player of the Year awards:

Sports analyst Amr Nasouhi said, "Harry Kane and Bruno Fernandes will burn themselves, I adore De Bruyne, but this season he is not the best player in Manchester City," while sports activist Nawaf Al-Aqeel commented on the Belgian winning the award as "the biggest theft of 2021." .

Harry Kane and Bruno Fernandez are talking about themselves 🤯


I love De

Bruynes

...this season is not really the best player in City 😂 https://t.co/wxOPEonKXW

Foreign tweeters interacted with the Professional Players Association’s tweet, as one of the tweeters replied, “What is happening on the ground? Complete fraud. The man who topped the goals and made art did not win (meaning Harry Kane), and a man who was not even the best midfielder in his club won,” while Another said, "I can understand Diaz's victory over Kane even though I totally disagree with him, but it doesn't even make sense."

It is noteworthy that De Bruyne played 23 Premier League games last season, scoring only 6 goals and making 12 goals, and he missed a number of matches due to injury or technical decisions from City coach Pep Guardiola.

With only 25 games, De Bruyne is the lowest player to participate in Premier League matches and wins the Premier League Player of the Year award by the Professional League.

I do not know, by God, on the basis of any 23 matches, including 6 goals and 12 assists, the player of the season is awarded at the expense of Harry Kane, who has 23 goals and 14 assists and played a full season minus 3 matches only pic.twitter.com/CpQE2QRoxa

What on earth.

Complete Scam.

A man who topped the goals and assists chart didn't win


A man who wasn't even the best player in his club won 😭 https://t.co/jC1Nz0PwYa

I love the lad, but this is totally undeserved.

Miles behind the likes of Kane, Dias, Bruno, even Son I reckon.

I can understand Dias winning it over Kane even though I completely disagree with it, but this?

Doesn't even make sense https://t.co/XG4hZEWOhF
