Kevin De Bruyne, the talismanic midfielder for both Manchester City and Belgium, put in a dominant performance in Belgium's 3-0 victory over Wales in the UEFA Nations League. His brace highlighted his renewed commitment to the national team and showcased his exceptional talent.

The game was played at the Cardiff City Stadium, and Belgium took control from the start. De Bruyne wasted no time in making his mark, scoring the opening goal in just the 10th minute. Receiving the ball on the edge of the box, he unleashed a powerful shot that flew into the bottom corner.

De Bruyne continued to torment the Welsh defense throughout the match. His vision and passing were instrumental in creating chances for his teammates. In the 37th minute, he doubled Belgium's lead with a clinical finish after a clever through ball from Eden Hazard.

Wales struggled to contain De Bruyne's influence, and he could have had a hat-trick in the second half. However, he was denied by the woodwork on one occasion and by a smart save from goalkeeper Danny Ward on another.

Despite De Bruyne's brilliance, Belgium's victory was a team effort. Michy Batshuayi added a third goal in the 73rd minute to seal the win. Manager Roberto Martinez praised his side's performance and singled out De Bruyne's contribution.

"Kevin was exceptional tonight," Martinez said. "He showed his commitment to the national team and his quality is undeniable. His goals and performance were key to our victory."

De Bruyne's performance was a reminder of his importance to Belgium. Having missed the 2022 World Cup due to injury, he is determined to make up for lost time. His goals against Wales were his first for Belgium since March 2021.

With De Bruyne back to his best, Belgium will be confident of success in the Nations League and beyond. The Red Devils have a wealth of talent at their disposal, and De Bruyne is the driving force behind their ambitions.
