Man City boss Guardiola: Bernardo among best players I've trained

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola hailed the performance of Bernardo Silva after their Champions League win against Bayern Munich.

Bernardo struck in the 3-0 quarterfinal first-leg victory.

In addition to his goal, Bernardo produced an assist and made eight tackles. No player has achieved the same tally in a Champions League knockout game in the last three seasons.

Guardiola later said: "I've been lucky to coach some very good players for Barca and Bayern.

"He's one of the best players I ever trained in my life, ever, he's something special as a football player."
