Captain Bernardo De Silva: Captain Bernardo De Silva expressed gratitude towards the club and its fans as he gears up for his last outing for Manchester City at Etihad Stadium in Manchester on Sunday. The midfielder spent nine years with the club and is set to leave as a free agent after City's last match in the Premier League against Aston Villa.

The Portuguese footballer said the greatest achievement during the Manchester City spell is not any of the trophies, but the connection with supporters and the sense of enjoyment provided on the pitch, describing the relationship with fans as the element that gives the career its deepest meaning.

"In the end, this is about entertainment and the main thing that football players should do is make the fans, the people that go to the stadium, feel well represented, feel that a part of them is inside the pitch and when you have that connection, when you feel it, when the fans feel that winning or losing, the players left it all on the pitch, When you create that bond between players and fans, you're a step closer to winning," Silva said in a video released by Man City.
