Bernardo Silva has become the Portuguese player with the most Premier League appearances, surpassing Luis Boa Morte during Manchester City’s vital 3-0 victory over Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.
Bernardo Silva made history on Sunday by reaching 297 Premier League appearances, moving ahead of Luis Boa Morte as the all-time Portuguese leader in the competition.
The City captain also leads his compatriots in league starts, total minutes played, and matches won.
With 19 major trophies already secured, Silva’s milestone highlights his enduring consistency and leadership within Pep Guardiola’s highly successful squad.
Beyond individual accolades, Silva’s participation was instrumental as Manchester City dismantled Chelsea to close the gap on league leaders Arsenal.
The “midfield maestro” continues to be a central figure in City’s hunt for a second consecutive league title and upcoming FA Cup semi-final.
The club officially recognized the achievement, stating, “Congratulations to Bernardo on this latest milestone,” as they celebrated a historic night in London.
