Rasmus Højlund said he was grateful to be on the same team as Kevin De Bruyne after the on-loan Manchester United striker scored twice off assists from the former Manchester City midfielder in Napoli 's 2-1 win over Sporting CP .

De Bruyne's perfectly placed through ball set up Højlund's opener for Napoli in Wednesday's Champions League clash. After Colombian forward Luis Suárez equalised from the penalty spot, De Bruyne then also provided the cross for Højlund's header that restored Napoli's advantage in the second half.

"Kevin is a legend of the sport," Højlund said. "For me, it's just every time he has the ball, go find some space. I'm so grateful to play with a player like this."
