Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has thanked Bernardo Silva for helping to reinforce it for everyone to see. He is currently the best player in this league. After the Norwegian national team midfielder scored two beautiful goals for the team to thrash Watford 3-1.

“Overall, a good performance. We missed many opportunities. And hopefully next game will turn it into more goals,” Pep said after the game.

“The game should have ended sooner. We have routines to do to ensure consistency in the way we play, in football the hardest thing is to pass the ball into the net. But the way we play is good again.

But Bernardo did not suddenly become important in his past half a dozen matches. He has been colossal for City all season. In games at Liverpool and Chelsea that Guardiola highlighted, he contributed neither a goal nor an assist, but he was probably the best player on the pitch in both.

We scored three beautiful goals and should have scored more.”

“I have to thank Bernardo, because after what I said. (In the middle of the week that Bernardo is the best in the league right now) the work he does. He didn’t go wrong with what I said so thank you very much, he did a great job. He is very important to us.”
