Henry: Man City attacker De Bruyne smartest player I've ever seen

Arsenal legend Thierry Henry says Manchester City midfielder Kevin de Bruyne is the "smartest" player he's seen.

De Bruyne scored in City's 1-1 draw at Real Madrid in the first-leg of their Champions League semifinal.

Henry said, "I don't think he made a great game overall, but he scored an important goal. That's why I say he's the best and most important player in this team.

"I think Kevin's brain is the best I've ever seen. You never know what he's thinking, sometimes it looks like he's elsewhere.

"I think he's the smartest player I've ever seen in my life, he's from another planet."
