The Belgian midfielder beat Fernandinho and Aymeric Laporte to the prize after an impressive run of performances which saw him score four goals in five games.
It was a typically influential period for De Bruyne, who showed signs of his best form as we approach the business end of the season.
He scored twice in the convincing 5-2 win over Southampton and followed that up with a sensational 20-yard effort that broke the deadlock in the second leg of our Champions League last 16 victory over Borussia Monchengladbach.
And, in the FA Cup quarter-final against Everton, it was De Bruyne’s impact off the bench which swung the tie in City’s favour, with the 29-year-old sealing our progress to the last four with a smart run and shot late in the game.
De Bruyne fought off stiff competition from Fernandinho and Laporte, claiming the majority of the votes to win the award for the second time this season.
Thanks to everyone who voted and congratulations to Kevin!
