Bernardo Silva makes history at Manchester City: the player with the most wins in Premier League for the club!
On a night that will forever be etched in the annals of Manchester City, Portuguese midfielder Bernardo Silva achieved an impressive feat following the 1-0 victory over Burnley on Wednesday. With this win, the City captain reached the historic milestone of 215 victories in the Premier League, becoming the player with the most wins in the club’s history in the top national competition.
Before Bernardo, the record belonged to David Silva, who had 214 wins with City. Now, the Portuguese number 10 has surpassed that mark and inscribed his name in capital letters in the history of the Citizens. The club made sure to celebrate this achievement on social media, stating: “One for the history books! 🙌”.
Bernardo Silva, who confirmed he will leave the club at the end of the season, leaves behind a legacy of astonishing numbers. Since arriving in Manchester in 2017, he has participated in 453 official matches, more than any other player during this period. The night became even more special as he climbed to eighth place on the list of players with the most appearances for City, surpassing a true club legend, Mike Summerbee.
Of the 453 matches played, 299 were in the Premier League, where he maintains an impressive win rate of 72%. Only goalkeeper Ederson, with 205 victories, joins Bernardo Silva in the exclusive club of players with over 200 wins in the English league for Manchester City. The list of the top five winners is completed by names such as Kevin De Bruyne (197) and Fernandinho (187).
In addition to the win record, Bernardo Silva has amassed 19 trophies while serving City, sharing the status of the club’s most decorated player with Kevin De Bruyne and John Stones, further solidifying his status as a living legend.
The previous week was also significant for the Portuguese midfielder, who became the Portuguese player with the most appearances in the Premier League, surpassing Luís Boa Morte, the former forward for Arsenal, Southampton, Fulham, and West Ham. With 299 league appearances, Bernardo continues to solidify his outstanding career in England.
This moment is a true celebration of Bernardo Silva’s brilliant career at Manchester City, a player who has not only shone on the pitch but has also entered the club’s history with achievements that are unlikely to be surpassed anytime soon. The farewell is near, but the legacy will last forever.
