Manchester City Fans Think Bernardo Silva Trolled Liverpool With Title-Winning Picture

Manchester City fans think Bernardo Silva is trolling Liverpool supporters with his title-winning picture on social media.

After Manchester United lost 2-1 to Leicester City last night, the Portugal midfielder has become a Premier League champion for the third time since moving to England in 2017.

The only season in which he hasn't lifted the Premier League trophy was in 2019/20, when Liverpool won a first league title for 30 years.

City's defeat to Chelsea in June handed Liverpool the crown and the sky blues then gave a guard of honour ahead of their 4-0 win against the Reds at the Etihad a few days later.

Silva was on the bench for the game and triggered Liverpool supporters by showing a lack of interest in applauding the champions.

Unlike his colleagues, Silva didn't clap at all and slowly sipped the hot drink he had.

And having posted a picture of him with a replica Premier League trophy with a coffee machine in the background last night, City fans reckon Bernardo knew what he was doing.

In August, following City's 3-1 Champions League quarter final defeat to Lyon, the former Monaco man called out Liverpool fans in a series of tweets.

Silva and City are in line to receive a guard of honour from Newcastle ahead of Friday night's game at St James' Park.
