Man City are gleefully taking advantage of Barcelona transfer call

For the second week in a row, Bernardo Silva let his exasperation known on the pitch.

The Manchester City star gave officials both barrels at Anfield when their goal was disallowed last Sunday and this Saturday he made Craig Pawson know exactly how much of a penalty he thought he was owed in the two minutes between the foul happening and the referee overturning his original decision. While the player is far more chilled off the pitch, the fire he continues to show in a City shirt is why his name continues to be sung by Blues every week.

Bernardo has always been 100 per cent committed to the cause, ready to run through brick walls for the team, and even when his head has been turned in the transfer market it has not affected his performances. Barcelona's failure to move for him this summer when they chose to spend over £130m on other players instead has already given City more gains in a player who is undeniably a winner.
