Pep Guardiola underlined a performance from Bernardo Silva following Manchester City's triumph in Community Shield.

The Citizens outplayed Chelsea to win the Wembley clash 2-0 and although happy with his entire team, Guardiola mentioned the Portuguese winger in particular.

"The performance of Bernardo Silva was a masterpiece," the City boss said.

"Everybody knows the wingers want to compete. Right now, it is Bernardo and 10 players more. Right now. But in 11 months it depends on what they show me on the pitch.

"Bernardo is far away from other guys, so that's why, at the moment, he plays.

"He is so intelligent, he is clever. He is a fighter, a competitor. I think he is the guy most beloved in our team and today he showed me a lot of things.

"He came back earlier and that showed me again a lot of things and that's one of the reasons we won today. It was for many reasons. One of the reasons was Bernardo."
