Manchester City midfielder Bernardo Silva has hit back at some Liverpool fans on Twitter who have trolled him.

Silva has tweeted his disappointment at City’s 2019-20 campaign in which they failed to stop Liverpool from winning the Premier League title and also lost to Lyon in the quarter-finals of the Champions League.

Some Liverpool fans have trolled the 26-year-old Portugal international midfielder on Twitter, and he has hit back at them.

Stats

Silva has been on the books of City since the summer of 2017 when he joined from AS Monaco for a transfer fee reported by BBC Sport to be worth £43 million.

The Portugal international has established himself as an important player in manager Pep Guardiola’s side, and played his part in the Citizens winning the Premier League title in 2018 and 2019.

According to WhoScored, Silva made 23 starts and 11 substitute appearances in the Premier League for City this past season, scoring six goals and providing seven assists in the process.

The Portuguese also made five starts and two substitute appearances in the Champions League for the Citizens in 2019-20, providing one assist in the process, according to WhoScored.
