At the end of this season, a club legend will leave Manchester City. Bernardo Silva confirmed earlier this week that the 2025-26 season will be his final one at City. During his time at the club, Bernardo Silva has been a key member of a City side that has won 19 major trophies, and Bernardo has made 451 appearances for the club as he has been a mainstay of Pep Guardiola’s side. Although the end is near for Bernardo Silva’s Manchester City career, his team remains in the hunt for two major trophies. Pep Guardiola has said that his team is determined to send a club legend out in style.
Manchester City are going to give their all to send Bernardo Silva off in style.
Speaking ahead of Manchester City’s top-of-the-table Premier League clash against Arsenal, Pep Guardiola paid tribute to Bernardo Silva and all that Bernardo has given to City during his time at the club. Also, Guardiola said that his team will do all they can to send Bernardo off in style. Speaking on Bernardo Silva after Bernardo announced his intention to leave Manchester City, Guardiola said: “These players leaving, it’s part of myself leaving too. It’s difficult to imagine without him.”
“I’ve said many times that on and off the pitch he made an incredible statement during nine years here and he has been massively, massively, massively important. There have been many players that have been who we are. Winning and performing incredibly well. Mentally and everything.”
“Hopefully we can deliver to him and he’s going to help us, I know that very well. He’s a special player in those terms. Hopefully we can deliver a good month because he deserves the best. We have won 19 titles together and still we are challenging in two and we are going for it, that’s for sure.”
If City play like their captain, they have every chance of sending him off in style.
Manchester City will do all they can to send Bernardo Silva off in style. City remain in contention to win the Premier League and have an FA Cup semi-final against an in-form Southampton at Wembley on the horizon. Pep Guardiola’s side have hit form at the right time of the season, so City are in it up to their eyeballs to complete a domestic treble.
Obviously, City have to play at their best to beat Arsenal today and win the FA Cup. Aside from how they play, if Pep Guardiola’s side plays with the spirit of Bernardo Silva, they have every chance of winning two more major trophies. Bernardo Silva is always willing to go above and beyond for his team. This trait has embodied his time at Manchester City. If his teammates can all play with Bernardo’s spirit across the run-in, Pep Guardiola’s side will be hard to beat throughout their remaining games of this season.
Manchester City will be doing all they can to send club legend Bernardo Silva off in style. Pep Guardiola stated this on Friday. Starting today against Arsenal if City play with Bernardo’s spirit, they stand every chance of winning two more trophies this season to send their captain out in fitting fashion.
