SILVA'S BEEN WORTH WEIGHT IN GOLD

IT WAS two summers ago when Bernardo Silva wanted to leave Manchester City.

But here we are two years on and the Portuguese star is still one of Pep Guardiola's most important lieutenants.

None more so in the Champions League. Only two players have featured in every game in Europe this season for City - Silva (left) and Jack Grealish.

Silva will be one of the first names on the team-sheet for the final against Inter Milan in Istanbul next month.

His first goal against Real Madrid on Wednesday was superb as he gave Thibaut Courtois the eyes before nestling his effort into the bottom near corner.
