Goals from Rayan Cherki and Erling Haaland gave Manchester City a 2-1 win at the Etihad as they moved three points behind the league leaders with a game in hand. Silva is leaving City at the end of the season and Guardiola says his display against Arsenal was typical of what he has seen for the past nine years.
“If I talk too much I will cry,” the City boss said. “I can just say thank you on behalf of this club for what you have done. “Bernardo proves that football starts in the brain to the feet.
He’s not the fastest, the quickest, but he knows what is required in every single action. Commitment, he’s never injured. “Last season defined him.
When everybody was not there, always he was there suffering. His mentality. “One thing that’s important is he always sees the positive things in life.
“He deserves the biggest recognition. When you write the legend, you have to write his name in capital letters. Not (just) for today, but every single game in nine years.
