Bernardo Silva on Manchester City-Liverpool rivalry: they pushed us | OneFootball

In his farewell to Manchester City, Bernardo Silva looked back on his time in English football. In a lengthy interview, the former Benfica midfielder spoke about the rivalries the Citizens had during his time there, highlighting the head-to-head with Liverpool, one of the Premier League’s big teams.

"So, I can’t compare our rivalry, although maybe for the younger lot now, over the next few years, it will be different," added the Portuguese international, stressing that it is difficult to make a comparison given the number of titles the Manchester club won compared to their rivals from Anfield.

"I’m talking about my experience. I can’t compare my rivalry with Arsenal to the one with Liverpool, because for me our rivals were always Liverpool. Eight, six, two, and Liverpool reached three Champions League finals and were always the team competing with us," he said.

"And so, that rivalry was a very tough one. It was a spectacular rivalry, one I will always remember and one we are very proud to have had with them. And now, in my final years, maybe for everyone else this will be the big rivalry, hopefully so, with Arsenal on the rise, and especially this year they have the chance to win important titles," Bernardo Silva concluded.
