My good friend (who is sadly a Liverpool fan) was at that game, and told me it was the single most impressive performance he'd ever seen. He had never witnessed running and skill like it. He talks about it often.His performance against Liverpool at home in 18/19 is the bravest performance I've ever seen from a Manchester City player. If we are still giving out statues when he leaves that one match alone would justify it. The Real game is just the cherry on the cake.
Not a lover of the statue thing but if any player in our history deserved one it's this little fella.Bernardo has now played 241 games in his 8th season (cf. de Bruyne with 261 in his 10th season). To have played at this level in midfield and missed only 11 games through injury at such a time in our history is ridiculous. Almost as ridiculous as some of the criticism he attracts on here.
Absolutely agree. Andy Scott won’t need much steel…Not a lover of the statue thing but if any player in our history deserved one it's this little fella.
He has given so much in our cause, a simply magnificent footballer and what a wonderful role model for any young player.
