Bernardo Silva on 2025-26: A Fresh Start Fueled by Fans and Ambition
As Manchester City prepare to embark on the 2025-26 campaign, Bernardo Silva is clear-eyed about the challenges ahead and the vital role that supporters will play in the club’s quest to reclaim glory.
After a campaign that, while finishing strongly, fell short of the lofty standards set during the Guardiola era, Silva sees the new season as an opportunity for renewal and fresh ambition.
Reflecting on last season’s final stretch, where City secured Champions League qualification with a run of impressive results, Bernardo acknowledges that the team’s journey didn’t match the immense expectations established by recent trophy hauls, including the historic Treble of 2022/23 and the unprecedented four-in-a-row Premier League triumphs that followed.
“That feeling of falling short isn’t easy for any of us, players or fans alike,” Bernardo told mancity.com. “But this season presents a clear chance to turn the page and start fresh. We’re determined to improve, to challenge fiercely for trophies, because winning is part of what defines this club and our team.”
City’s fans will be at the heart of this fresh start, with an eagerly anticipated “City Are Back” event at the Joie Stadium designed to reignite the connection between players and supporters.
This special occasion, presented by Etihad Airways, offers a unique glimpse behind the scenes, allowing fans to witness both the men’s and women’s squads in training, including the first outings of new signings.
Bernardo emphasised the emotional bond shared with the fans, explaining how the energy and passion from the stands fuel the team’s drive on the pitch. “Our supporters are crucial to everything we do.
“Every moment we experience during matches, the highs, the intensity, they feel it alongside us. We’ve shared unforgettable moments over the years, and we want to create even more as this new season unfolds.”
As Bernardo Silva and his teammates look ahead, the message is clear: the new season is a blank slate, a fresh chapter waiting to be written.
With the passion of the City faithful behind them, they are ready to rise to the challenge and deliver the success that has become synonymous with the club’s name.
