About Bernardo Silva

Bernardo Mota Veiga de Carvalho e Silva (Portuguese pronunciation: [bɨɾˈnaɾðu ˈsilvɐ]; born 10 August 1994) is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for La Liga club Real Madrid and the Portugal national team. After spending most of his youth career at Benfica, Silva began his professional senior career with them, before moving to Monaco permanently in January 2015, winning the Ligue 1 title for the 2016–17 season. In the summer of 2017, Silva joined Manchester City. He made over 450 appearances, winning 20 major honours, including six Premier League titles, three FA Cups, four EFL Cups, and the Champions League in 2023, as part of a continental treble. In 2017–18, he helped City becoming the only Premier League team to attain 100 points in a single league season. In 2018–19, Silva had a significant role in City becoming the first men's team in England to win a domestic treble, being named Manchester City's Player of the Year in 2019 and being part of the PFA Premier League Team of the Year. In 2020–21, he helped Manchester City reach their first UEFA Champions League final, and was an integral part of the side who sealed their first ever continental treble in 2022–23, their most successful season to date. In July 2026, he left Manchester City as a free agent and joined La Liga club Real Madrid. Silva made his senior debut for Portugal in 2015 after previously being capped by the nations's youth teams at under-19 and under-21 levels.
