The world champion and two-time European champion said goodbye to the club on Wednesday. quarterfinals of the Champions League with Lyon.
“David Silva was a quiet leader who subtly inspired everyone around him, whether they were the youngest players from our academy or the players on the first team,” said the head of the club Chaldún Al Mubarak. “He changed our club, he made history in the whole Premier League,” added.
Silva won four championship titles with City, adding five triumphs in the League, two in the English Cup and also three Super Cup victories. His statue will be unveiled next year along with a statue of former Manchester Captain Vincent Kompany captain.
