Bernardo Silva suggests there's a Liverpool preference at play when it comes to awards

Manchester City star Bernardo Silva has suggested Liverpool receive biased approach when it comes to handing out individual awards. The Portuguese midfielder was among the nominees for last season's PFA Player of the Year award, but Virgil van Dijk won the trophy. Sergio Aguero and Raheem Sterling also missed out on the prize. It was the second year in succession that a Liverpool player had picked up the award, even though City won the Premier League. "I hope this is not a bad example, and people don't take it badly. But I always think about the last three seasons, Man City and Liverpool," Silva told Bleacher Report. "Three seasons ago we win the league and they were 30 points behind. Kevin De Bruyne, unbelievable season, Mo Salah, scores a lot of goals. He's a great player and I admire him a lot, and they give the award to Mo Salah. "The season after, very tight. Raheem Sterling was on the run with van Dijk, they give the award to van Dijk. This season again, Kevin de Bruyne, another unbelievable season. We're behind, but because Liverpool are champions probably one of them is winning the award again." Source: The Mirror
