Bernardo Silva is Man City's player of the season. He might be Pep Guardiola's favourite ever player

In a season when a new, young and raw Manchester City team gelled together to come within touching distance of a domestic treble that remains one of the rarest achievements in English football, the player of the season has to be the man who did the most to bring everything together.Some around Pep Guardiola believe Bernardo Silva could be his favourite ever player. You would never get the Catalan to admit to having a favourite, and he has always put Lionel Messi on such a pedestal anyway, but if those who see him close up get the feeling Bernardo is the most beloved of all, then that is really saying something.Advertisement
