​Man City star Silva: I'll retire when we win the Champions League

Manchester City midfielder David Silva has revealed he will retire if City wins the Champions League.

The diminutive playmaker has consistently been one of the Premier League's best players since he arrived at the Etihad from Valencia in 2010.

But despite a decorated career, the 31-year old has not had an opportunity to win Europe's premier club competition.

When asked what would he do if he could achieve this feat, Silva told the Daily Mail: "I'd retire. If I win the Champions League I'm retiring back here," Daily Mail.

"It would be very special for me."
