Manchester City ace Bernardo Silva has paid a glowing tribute to Juventus star Cristiano Ronaldo.

Bernardo is in awe of his Portugal teammate's work ethic.

He told Goal: "I think what makes him so great is his mentality. He is 35 years old and has been playing at the highest level for over 15 years and he is not tired. He always wants more. He wants to win more Champions Leagues, he wants to win more titles with Portugal, he wants to win more championships, more individual trophies, he wants more goals.

"I think what is annoying about him, in a way, is that during training, you play a match, it's 1-1. The coach says that whoever scores wins, and it's always him. It's not just in matches. When a match is blocked and you don't know if you're going to win or not, you know that if you give him the ball, he's the one who decides something special can happen when he has the ball. Even in training, it's a bit boring because it's always him who scores the most important goals!

"I think that's what makes him special, being there at the most important moments."
