Manchester City commission statue of David Silva at the Etihad Stadium

Chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak lauds veteran, former teammate Micah Richards says Spaniard is City’s best ever player

It was six minutes to end 10 years, a cameo that served as a coda to a career. The dream departure for David Silva would have been after lifting the Champions League trophy in Lisbon on Sunday.

Misfortune and some controversy, but Manchester City contributed to their own downfall

'This decision is hard to accept' - Manchester City defender Aymeric Laporte

Instead, his Manchester City playing days finished more ignominiously. A brief outing as a substitute in Saturday's defeat to Lyon took the Spaniard to 436 appearances, joint 10th in City's history with Willie Donachie.

In another sense, Silva may top the list. “I think he is City’s best ever player that I have seen,” said his former team-mate Micah Richards. “I would say along with Yaya Toure but I think Silva was more consistent than Yaya so I would give it to Silva.”

Toure was the match-winner par excellence, the man responsible for many a major moment in City’s rise. Silva has been more understated, but his impact has extended for longer.

Richards admitted his reference points do not stretch back to City’s golden era half a century ago and, for supporters of a certain vintage, the decision comes down to different generations of high-class midfielders.

“I know older fans would say Colin Bell but he is not my era and I don’t want to be disrespectful to him and I have not seen as many videos as I should have,” Richards added.

Silva can be proof greatness comes in small packages. His arrival from Valencia in 2010 prompted questions if he was physical enough to survive in English football. It is an understatement to say he did. “What makes him so much better is how humble he is,” Richards added. “You look at the size of him and he is 5ft 7in max and you look at him and think: ‘How do you do what you do on the pitch?’”

Man City season ratings

MANAGER: Pep Guardiola - 7: City have been thrilling to watch at times, particularly at home, but have also found ways to lose games they should have won. Hard to think of a trophy winning season as a failure, but such are the standards set by Guardiola that it seems like that after the defeat in Lisbon. Long-term injuries to Aymeric Laporte, Sergio Aguero and Leroy Sane, before he was sold, didn’t help the cause, nor did Mikel Arteta’s departure for Arsenal in December. Plenty to think about over the break, but it would be a surprise if City weren’t stronger next season. AFP

GOALKEEPERS: Ederson - 7: Do any two statistics sum up City’s season so thoroughly as Ederson winning the Golden Glove for keeping 16 clean sheets in 35 Premier League appearances in a campaign when the club also conceded 35 league goals and lost nine league games? Ederson is the most complete goalkeeper in the Premier League and yet was prone to error too often this term. AP

Claudio Bravo - 6: Sent off against Atalanta in the Champions League after only coming on at half-time for the injured Ederson, his calamitous appearance in Italy seemed to sum up his time at City. Nevertheless, he collected winners’ medals in the Carabao Cup and the Community Shield, memorably saving one of Liverpool’s penalties in a man-of-the-match winning performance. Getty

DEFENDERS: Aymeric Laporte - 7: His early season injury exposed City’s frailties at the back. His recovery has helped shore up City’s defence, although he was shaky in an unfamiliar set-up in the Champions League quarter-final. Restricted to less than 20 appearances this season. AP

“He is playing against players [who are] 6ft 1in, 6ft 2in, twice the size, twice the strength and he just skips round them. He is a magician.”

City are recognising Silva’s achievements. A statue has been commissioned to stand at the Etihad Stadium, along with a sculpture of former captain Vincent Kompany, and both will be unveiled next year.

A training pitch with a mosaic immortalising Silva’s contribution to 2011’s 6-1 win over Manchester United will be at the Etihad Campus, where pitches have already been dedicated to Joe Hart and Toure.

“As with Vincent before him, David’s statue will act as a lasting reminder of the wonderful moments that he gave us, not only as an incredible footballer, but as an inspiring ambassador,” said chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak.

“He has put a stamp on the team, on this club, its history and the Premier League as a whole. He has been instrumental to the beautiful football philosophy you see today. David is a transformational player.”

That transformation is reflected not just by his 77 goals in 436 games or a tally of 93 Premier League assists that puts him sixth in the division’s all-time chart.

He joined a club who had not won major silverware since 1976. With four league titles, two FA Cups and five League Cups, he became the most decorated player in their history.

It was only in his final few months that Pep Guardiola began to phase him out and Silva did not start any of City’s three knockout Champions League games.

If his legs started to wane, the principles of Silva’s passing game remained the same and Richards added: “It is absolutely incredible that he is that consistent over that many years and I don’t think there has been a better player in City history than David Silva.”
