Despite taking the lead in the first half, the Manchester team lost 2-1 at home to Aston Villa, ending the 2025\/26 season.<\/p>\n<p data-mrf-recirculation=\"Links P\u00e1rrafos\" class=\"ue-c-article__paragraph paragraph\">As reported by the Daily Mail, Bernardo was in tears before playing his final game for City, with the Portuguese midfielder visibly overwhelmed as he prepared to lead his side against Aston Villa. Both he and Guardiola shed tears as they left the pitch.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"ue-c-article__media ue-c-article__media--video  video-player\"><figcaption class=\"ue-c-article__media-caption\" itemprop=\"description\">\n<p><span class=\"ue-c-article__media-description\">Josep Guardiola was left speechless when Manchester City renamed their stadium stand in his honour.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p data-mrf-recirculation=\"Links P\u00e1rrafos\" class=\"ue-c-article__paragraph paragraph\">This moment represents the weight of nine years at the club, during which Bernardo became one of the most trusted and respected players of Guardiola&#8217;s entire reign.<\/p>\n<p data-mrf-recirculation=\"Links P\u00e1rrafos\" class=\"ue-c-article__paragraph paragraph\">He joined his wife and daughter in the tunnel, adding a family element to what was already a very personal farewell.<\/p>\n<p data-mrf-recirculation=\"Links P\u00e1rrafos\" class=\"ue-c-article__paragraph paragraph\">James Trafford was seen consoling him before he was sent off to a huge ovation from City supporters.<\/p>\n<p data-mrf-recirculation=\"Links P\u00e1rrafos\" class=\"ue-c-article__paragraph paragraph\">A central figure in City&#8217;s greatest era, Bernardo rarely got a glimpse in public of just how much the club meant to him.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"ue-c-article__subheadline\">Bernardo Silva bids farewell to Man City<\/h2>\n<p data-mrf-recirculation=\"Links P\u00e1rrafos\" class=\"ue-c-article__paragraph paragraph\">Bernardo leaves City with a great legacy.<\/p>\n<p data-mrf-recirculation=\"Links P\u00e1rrafos\" class=\"ue-c-article__paragraph paragraph\">Since joining from Monaco in 2017, he has helped the club win six Premier League titles, five League Cup titles, three FA Cup titles and the Champions League.<\/p>\n<p data-mrf-recirculation=\"Links P\u00e1rrafos\" class=\"ue-c-article__paragraph paragraph\">His importance was never just about goals and assists.
