Manchester City football player Kevin de Bruyne was surprised after he learned that the cricket game is the second most popular sport in the world, and he commented as “no one in Europe watches the cricket.” During a CITY competition clip called “AI Showdown”, De Bruyne and his colleague James Mcatee guess the 5 best popular sports in Europe. After it was revealed that the cricket game was second after football, de Bruyne was surprised and continued to say – “How can cricket be second in the list? This is a lie.” He added, “I don’t know anyone in Europe watching the cricket game, to be honest.”
The statement has not been slightly eliminated by social media users who criticized de Bruyne for his statement and even indicated the popularity of increased sport in various countries across Europe.
