Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola described David Silva as “one of the best players” he has managed after the midfielder scored a dramatic late winner in City’s Champions League win over Hoffenheim.
Silva capitalised on an 87th-minute defensive error by Stefan Posch before finishing into the far corner to give his side their first points in the competition this season.
The Spaniard also played a key role in Sergio Aguero’s equaliser in the first half.
“He is one of the best players I have trained in my life,” said Guardiola.
“I am a lucky guy to have many of them who are top players at Barcelona and Bayern Munich and he is in that list.
“In terms of mentality, I love the players who in the bad moments step forward and say ‘I am here guys’ and he is one of them.
“I am so happy for him. He deserves all of my respect.”
