When news broke that Joao Cancelo was on the verge of moving to Bayern Munich, it was an initial shock.
But when the dust had settled, it was clear that Pep Guardiola had once again proved that he was a man of his word. Time and time again, the Catalan boss has set an example that he will not stand in the way of any player that wishes to leave.
Cancelo was no different and even though Manchester City looked to lack depth in the full-back position, one man stepped up to the plate on Sunday to justify Guardiola's decision. Bernardo Silva frequently dropped deep into the backline to help Kyle Walker, Ruben Dias and Aymeric Laporte, creating a defensive four.
