Premier League champions Manchester City are welcoming back David Silva to the Etihad Stadium for the first time since his departure. The legendary Spanish midfielder played his final Premier League game for Manchester City in a 5-0 win over Norwich. He ended the campaign with six goals and 11 assists in all competitions, earning himself a spot in the PFA Team of the Year.
Shortly after his final appearance, plans for a statue of David Silva, along with teammates Sergio Aguero and Vincent Kompany, were announced to be installed at the Etihad Stadium to commemorate his 10-year contribution. Now, David Silva has returned to the Etihad Stadium as Manchester City continues their pursuit of a fourth successive Premier League title and a retained domestic double through the FA Cup, feats that have never been achieved before.
Ahead of the match between Manchester City and Wolves, David Silva shared an emotional photo on his Instagram channel of his two children in front of his statue at the Etihad Stadium. This marks a special moment for the midfielder as he is honored for his contributions to the club during his 10-year tenure.
