'Bernardo Silva is Iniesta-like' - Man City star compared to Barcelona legend and considered 'so underrated'

Former Blues defender Wayne Bridge is a big fan of a Portuguese playmaker that he considers to be crucial to the success enjoyed by Pep Guardiola

Bernardo Silva is “so underrated” at Manchester City, says Wayne Bridge, with the Portuguese playmaker considered to be “Iniesta-like”.

The 24-year-old’s qualities have never been in doubt since he was brought to England from Monaco in the summer of 2017.

His debut campaign at the Etihad Stadium saw him restricted to a support role at times, with just 15 Premier League starts awarded to him.
