Manchester City registered a thumping 3-0 win against Bayern Munich in the first leg of the Champions League quarterfinal at the Etihad Stadium on Tuesday night.
Rudri, Bernardo Silva, and Erling Haaland found themselves on the scoring sheet for the home team. Silva was at his absolute best for the Sky Blues as he kept Bayern left-back Alphonso Davies at bay.
“He is a player who you say is going to play in that position and you do not have to say anything else,” said Guardiola of Silva.
“I have been lucky to coach some very good players for Barca and Bayern. He is one of the best players I ever trained in my life, ever. He is something special as a football player.
“Bernardo is a football player, he can play everywhere because he understands the game perfectly and every action with and without the ball.
“When Davies starts to go you cannot stop, Bernardo has the ability to read the positions, give us an extra pass. He is so important in these types of games, he can play holding midfielder. He is so, so important and lately he is scoring goals, which he lacked a little bit. Now he is being decisive.”
Manchester City dominated the game as they took nine shots on target as compared to Bayern Munich’s four.
Bernardo Silva has scored four goals and provided five assists in the 27 matches of the Premier League. However, this was his maiden goal in the Champions League this season.
Manchester City will next face Leicester City on Saturday.
