Bernardo Silva cites transitional season, mistakes as reasons Man City missed PL title

Bernardo Silva says Manchester City would have won the 2025-26 Premier League title if not for being in a transitional season and making too many mistakes. The Portugal international told The Athletic that while Liverpool were their main rivals, avoiding those two factors would have secured the trophy, calling the current situation 'quite frustrating.'

City currently trail Arsenal by two points with just two matches remaining in the season. Silva's admission highlights how close the title race remains despite City's struggles this campaign, showing that minimal improvements could have changed the outcome.

For fans tracking the PL finale, does recognizing these specific shortcomings—transition challenges and error-prone performances—change how you view City's title challenge or influence your expectations for next season's squad adjustments?
