Major trophies(Europe's top 5 leagues+FIFA tournaments):
Kaka:2x domestic league,1x UCL,1x World Cup
De Bruyne:2x domestic league
An UCL doesn't look too far out for KDB to get but a World Cup/Euro will be hard as Belgium aren't blessed with depth and quality like Brazil are
Kaka:2x domestic league,1x UCL,1x World Cup

An UCL doesn't look too far out for KDB to get but a World Cup/Euro will be hard as Belgium aren't blessed with depth and quality like Brazil are
But don't forget the fact that KDB was a part of the greatest Premier League team-"the centurions" and also the record breaking team which won all 4 trophies in England for the first time
Kaka wasn't a part of any such record breaking team which did a "first"

G/A(top 5 leagues in Europe+respective cup competitions+UCL/Europa):
Kaka:133 goals,124 assists in 430 matches
KDB:90 goals,156 assists in 374 matches
•KDB just needs 10 G/A more to match Kaka and he can easily do it in less matches
•KDB's G/A per 90>Kaka's G/A per 90

•KDB just needs 10 G/A more to match Kaka and he can easily do it in less matches
•KDB's G/A per 90>Kaka's G/A per 90
Kaka played mostly as an AM and Second Striker and sometimes as a winger while KDB began his career as a CM and then became acquainted to AM,he is equally adept at both positions. So even though KDB played deeper than Kaka yet his G/A per 90 stats are higher than Kaka , which
simply speaks volumes about his excellence
The most important thing which Kaka has and KDB doesn't is a Ballon d'or.Sure KDB would have been a shout this year but would probably finish 2nd this year as despite his individual brilliance City couldn't win the league or UCL.

For KDB to win the Ballon d'or a UCL/World Cup is must. I think an PL+Euro would do it for him too.He needs to lead his team to victory in a UCL/World Cup/Euro and Ballon d'or is guaranteed for him
And don't forget KDB still has at least 5 years of playing career left.

To summarise the 2 most important things KDB needs to do is:
•win a UCL/World Cup as soon as possible and to keep on winning league titles
•Maintain his current G/A rate which is superior to that of Kaka
•win a UCL/World Cup as soon as possible and to keep on winning league titles
•Maintain his current G/A rate which is superior to that of Kaka
P.S. : Kaka is of course superior to KDB , I don't mean to slander his legacy through this thread,all I wanted to convey was what KDB can/should do if he wants to have a better legacy than Kaka's.
