Bernardo Silva was visibly emotional after Manchester City’s FA Cup triumph and made strong remarks about his journey in England, at a time when everything points to the Portuguese international leaving at the end of the season - though not for Benfica.

“It’s very special. I’m very happy. Everything in my journey here at Manchester City has been fantastic”, said the former Benfica player in comments to the BBC after the “Citizens” beat Chelsea 1-0 in the final.

The Portuguese international also admitted that he wants to end this chapter on a high note and did not hide the affection he feels for the English club. “I still hope we can have a little dream of fighting for the Premier League. It’s special for me, in my last season, to be able to give them another trophy. I hope it won’t be the last,” he revealed.

The number 20 shirt also took the opportunity to highlight Pep Guardiola’s importance in his career, showering praise on the Spanish coach. “He changed the way I see football. Around 80% of my career has been with him as my coach. Everything I hoped to achieve happened with him. The relationship we have is very strong, both because of the frustrations and the achievements,” he confessed.
