Bernard Silva: unmatched in Guardiola’s scheme

Even so, Silva recognizes the Blaugrana’s potential and the great football stars that came out of there.

“We were afraid of losing Bernardo Silva last summer. He is an irreplaceable footballer.”
This is what the Catalan admitted.
The irreplaceable Silva adds cinco Premier League with City, two FA Cups, four League Cups, two Community Shields and one Champions League. All this in more than 300 games and with approximately 55 goals.
