Spaniard David Silva entered the final minutes of the match, with City losing and on the brink of elimination against Lyon, and played the last minute with the team in which he has become a legend, although he has not achieved the long-awaited “Orejona”.
He came to City ten years ago and, although he has two Euro Cups and a World Cup under his belt, “El Mago” says goodbye to the “citizens” with the bitterness of not having gone to the semifinals of the Champions League, since in this 2020 contract ends. However, in this club he is for many the best player in history, since their numbers say that David Silva in these ten years he has scored 77 goals and has given 140 assists.
The Canarian player was trained in the lower categories of Valencia and, after spending on loan from Eibar and Celta de Vigo, City acquired him in the summer of 2010, as Roberto Mancini signed him before the World Cup in South Africa, which would ultimately win with Spain. David Silva assumed, until today, the role of captain of Manchester City, with the regret of not completing the multimillion-dollar project focused on leading European football, which happens to win some edition of the Champions League.
