Bernardo Silva asks playful question to Guardiola at Manchester City farewell | OneFootball

Bernardo Silva playfully put Pep Guardiola on the spot during the manager’s farewell ceremony at the Etihad Stadium, drawing laughs with a question about a viral moment from 2020. According to Glorioso 1904, Manchester City staged an emotional send-off for the Spaniard after he left at the end of the season.

The Portugal international shared the stage with John Stones and Fernandinho in a relaxed segment of the tribute. The former Benfica player then asked who Guardiola had been speaking to in that spot, a nod to the FA Cup semi-final against Arsenal in 2020.

During that match, television cameras appeared to show Guardiola talking to an empty chair beside the bench, footage that quickly went viral on social media. It later emerged he had been addressing members of his staff who were just out of shot.

Confronted with the clip again, Guardiola smiled, adjusted his cap and declined to answer, looking a touch embarrassed. The exchange provided one of the lighter moments of the ceremony.

Bernardo’s intervention, alongside John Stones and Fernandinho, underlined the warm tone of the send-off at the Etihad.
