On an evening when many of Pep Guardiola’s squad hit top form, the playmaker delivered a virtuoso display, to successfully complete all 47 of the passes he attempted at the Etihad Stadium.
That included a superb assist for Gabriel Jesus’ winning goal, when Bernardo’s vision and deftness of touch combined to wonderful effect.
Picked out by Riyad Mahrez’s raking ball to the far post, he showed great awareness to guide a first time pass back into the path of the Brazilian, who fired home from close range to seal the three points which sent City through to the last 16 as group winners.
The Portuguese midfielder was the only player on the pitch to achieve a 100% pass competition rate and you can watch every single one in the video above.
