Manchester City midfielder Bernardo Silva is full of praise for PSG star Kylian Mbappe.

The pair played together for AS Monaco.

Bernardo told Sky Sports: "When a player is as special as Mbappe, you never know whether things will go right or not but you know there is something precious, something important about him and if he works hard - which is the case - and has a good mentality, sooner or later the player will develop and will be the best.

"The most important thing about that team was that we didn't fear anyone - we could play against PSG, against Manchester City, Borussia Dortmund, Tottenham or smaller teams and we'd play the same way. We would respect everyone but have no fears and I liked that about that team.

"Being a part of AS Monaco, winning the league and reaching the semi-finals of the Champions League, we knew that some big clubs would come after some of our players so it wouldn't be easy to keep the same team.

"For example, I was there three years and I wanted to try something different. It was a good way to end my time in Monaco."
