Why Pep’s ‘grandad’ keeps making the difference

Pep Guardiola may call him ‘grandad’, but Bernardo Silva keeps City ticking. In the 2-2 draw with Monaco, fans questioned his attacking spark on the right wing. Yet with Silva on the pitch, the Blues boast a 12-2 record — that’s less creaky chair, more secret weapon.

Without him? Just 4-4 across Premier League and Champions League. He may not have Doku’s flair or Foden’s drive, but his leadership, control, and calm make everyone else shine. Turns out, this ‘grandad’ is still running the household like a pro.
