Man City midfielder David Silva: I was right to ignore Real Madrid, Barcelona

Manchester City midfielder David Silva has no regrets turning down Spain's big two during his caeer.

Silva says choosing City ahead of Real Madrid and Barcelona was the best decision as a footballer.

"City wanted me," he says in an interview for the Premier League Show.

"They had been calling me since December, asking me to come and play for them.

"I thought, 'who wants me? City want me, so that's where I'll go'.

"Back then I was living with my parents and they were getting divorced and it was the right time to get away from there, from Spain, and live a new experience. It turns out I made the right move."
