Bernardo Silva has urged Manchester City to draw inspiration from his Portugal teammate Cristiano Ronaldo.

City did a clean sweep of domestic trophies last season but they have suffered something of a hangover in the first half of this campaign.

And Silva believes the non-stop desire Ronaldo has shown for Manchester United, Real Madrid and Juve can be an inspiration for his City side.

He said: “That's why he is one of the best players ever, if not the best.

“He's an example for everyone. It's difficult to reach the top but even more difficult to keep the same level every year.

“But that's what we all have to try to do."
