Ruben Neves lavished praise on to Manchester City attacker Bernardo Silva for his all-conquering display against Real Madrid in his side’s 4-0 victory.
The Wolves midfielder commented under the £43 million (BBC Sport) man’s Instagram post, after he bagged a brilliant brace against Carlo Ancelotti’s side.
Aside from the goals as well, Manchester City winger Bernardo Silva tormented Real Madrid, which blew not just Ruben Neves away but the entire world watching.
How Ruben Neves reacted to the Bernardo Silva masterclass as Manchester City beat Real Madrid
The Portuguese maestro continues to prove why he is one of the best big-game players in the world.
After being pocked by Eduardo Camavinga at the Santiago Bernabéu, the 28-year-old gave the French international the runaround throughout the contest.
While defensively as well, Silva was a class apart, as his pressing as well as his tackling during the clash was virtually flawless.
Ruben Neves, who plays with Bernardo Silva in the Portuguese national team raved about his fellow countryman after Manchester City demolished Real Madrid.
“What a player”, the former Porto skipper commented.
Bernardo Silva should prioritize staying at Manchester City
Even after the contest, the ex-Monaco attacker left the door open to a potential exit, as it is no secret that he has had a desire to leave City for a number of summers.
While Bernardo Silva has the right to eye a departure, leaving the best club in the world in Manchester City, who have just demolished Real Madrid 5-1 on aggregate in the Champions League seems like an absurd decision.
The Sky Blues are on the verge of a treble and look set to remain dominant for years on end under Pep Guardiola.
Eras such as these come once in a blue moon and for Bernardo Silva to turn his back on that would be an impractical step, while staying put at City could ensure his status as one of the most decorated and well-respected players of his generation.
