Kevin De Bruyne is back, with Pep Guardiola confirming that the Belgian midfielder is available for this weekend's game against Burnley. As if this wasn't a momentous enough occasion, we have also been graced with a landmark video to mark the event.
The absolutely brutal scene consists of De Bruyne talking to another version of himself, who has apparently been sitting there for the last two months just waiting to play a bit of football again.
This video raises so many questions, and I can't really get across how bad it is. You are going to have to see it for yourself. Take a look.

Right let's dissect this masterpiece. Firstly, talking to yourself is a sign of madness, let's get that out of the way.
Secondly, that PS4 controller isn't even turned on for most of the video.
Also, we need to acknowledge that Kevin De Bruyne will not make an actor any time soon. He was not helped by the burden of having to play two roles in the same production, something even the most experienced stars can struggle with, but still.
Most worryingly, was De Bruyne not allowed leave the house during this injury? Judging by this video, it seems his activities during his rehabilitation was confined to lying on the count and playing FIFA. Not the worst life if you ask me, but surely his fitness will be affected by this lack of exercise?
We know Guardiola can be demanding of his players, so it is possible he kept the Belgian locked in a dark room to prevent aggravating the problem further. Think about it, have you actually seen him for the last nine weeks? It's worth considering that's all I'm saying.
Finally, how did he hand himself the shoes at the end? I was buying the whole situation of speaking to an alternative version of yourself up until that point, but this tipped it over the edge for me. Clearly the laws of physics do not apply here.
The shoes dropped too quickly for there to be any significant difference between the pair, but if they were that close then why don't the legs of the first De Bruyne drop into the bottom frame? This is both confusing and angering.
Please don't ever do something like this again.
