Bernardo Silva will never be acknowledged as the winner of the famous Ballon D'Or award, according to Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola, despite his remarkable performances for both club and country in recent months. There is a good case to be made that Bernardo Silva is one of, if not the finest player in the world, at this point in the season. The Portuguese international's unique blend of technical mastery and hard work surely qualifies him as one of the closest things to a complete player, as he ticks every box in his game. Bernardo Silva has single-handedly dominated several high-quality midfield collectives, convincing some fans and pundits alike to place him among the crème-de-la-crème of world football. He has set big games alight against the likes of Liverpool, Chelsea, Manchester United, and Paris Saint-Germain. While Pep Guardiola is one of Bernardo Silva's biggest supporters, he stated why he believes the Manchester City midfielder will not win the Ballon d'Or any time soon. "He (Bernardo Silva) will never win the Ballon d'Or because you have to be on social media, you have to not just win but score a lot of goals, and Bernardo does not have that quality," Pep Guardiola told Sky Sports this week. "I'd be thrilled if it happened one day." I'd be pleased for him, just like any other player we have here, if he won the Ballon d'Or one day." "I would be more than grateful to experience that accolade with him," Pep Guardiola concluded. He can do everything for me as a manager." 

While the Catalan coach's opinion carries a lot of weight, an in-form Bernardo Silva might be in line for the Ballon d'Or, with Manchester City in contention on three fronts this season. To give the former AS Monaco man any chance of winning football's top individual accolade, Pep Guardiola's team would have to win all of the Champions League, Premier League, and FA Cup within the calendar year, as well as Bernardo Silva winning prizes at international level.
