A lot of people believed that he could contribute immensely to City but no-one thought he would be this vital to a team that has gone on to win every trophy since.
His trophy cabinet is astounding. He is a five-time Premier League champion, a Ligue 1 champion with Monaco and was also a part of Benfica's Portuguese league triumph in 2014. Along with this, he has won numerous cups and finally added the Champions League to his roll of honour. The 28-year-old's versatility to play on the right wing and centrally is what makes him so valuable to Guardiola.
There are very few players, if any, who can do both at the level that Silva can in world football.
Guardiola started off by playing him out wide but given the fact that he was essentially a touchline-hugging winger, Silva was not able to showcase his abilities. But whenever the little maestro would cut in, he would wreak havoc. This is when the former Barcelona manager started to deploy him centrally.
During the 2018-19 season, with Liverpool hot on their tails and Kevin de Bruyne essentially missing the entire season, it was Bernardo Silva who kept them going.
