Man City defender Dias: We win because we have Bernardo

Manchester City defender Ruben Dias admits he enjoys playing with Bernardo Silva.

Dias says City are always stronger when Bernardo plays.

He told : "Other players could receive a lot of headlines in the newspapers, but he is always there. The players who assist and score will always receive the highest praise. That's how it works. But when you analyse why we won so much, Bernardo's name will be there...

“At one point last summer I thought he might leave, but I always tell him that every summer we will have this series called 'Bernardo is going nowhere'. This is the third summer I've been here and every year there's a new episode!"

Dias added: "I was really happy when he signed a new contract because if you want to win trophies Bernardo is exactly the type of player you need around you."
