The Premier League has been blessed with some outstanding Portuguese players over the years. None more so than Bernardo Silva, who has been a driving force behind Manchester City’s success. With six Premier League titles, a Champions League, and numerous individual accolades, Silva has cemented his place among the all-time greats.
But now, the 30-year-old has achieved something truly remarkable – he’s surpassed Cristiano Ronaldo as the Premier League’s top Portuguese assist provider! Silva’s latest feat came with a clever through-ball to Erling Haaland in City’s 3-1 victory over West Ham United.
Haaland’s goal was Silva’s second assist of the season, adding to his impressive tally. Across the Premier League, Silva has now collected an astonishing 44 assists! This milestone has propelled him one clear of former Manchester United star Nani, with Bruno Fernandes (41) and Ronaldo (37) trailing behind.
Silva’s incredible form has Man City fans buzzing, but it’s not just about individual milestones. The 2024-2025 campaign is shaping up to be another banner year for the Citizens, Haaland, and Silva. If they keep this up, Silva could rack up even more assists and stretch his lead at the top.
Here are the Premier League’s top Portuguese assist providers, highlighting Silva’s remarkable achievement:
1. Bernardo Silva (44)
2. Nani (43)
3. Bruno Fernandes (41)
