FANS reckon an amazing coincidence in a Bernardo Silva wedding photo proves boss Pep Guardiola has a God-like influence on Manchester City.
Bernardo was snapped on his big day with model Ines Tomaz alongside four City pals … with supporters noticing they posed in team formation!
Central defender Ruben Dias was at the rear, wing-backs Kyle Walker and Joao Cancelo out wide, and Riyad Mahrez plus Silva further forward.
So perhaps it was no surprise that the other person in the shot – super-agent Jorge Mendes – was the middle man.
One fan even joked “Haaland took the picture ” – a reference to City’s goal machine always being at the front.
The only mystery for spooked supporters was Silva “holding two cups” only – in the month Guardiola’s men completed the TREBLE.

One fan said of the snap: “Years of Pep Guardiola can cause this.”
Another wrote: “Even in this picture everyone of them is in his correct position. Pep Guardiola really is the best man.”
A third suggested: “It’s all they know.”
Tactics, even on his own match of the day, were surely the last thing on Bernardo’s mind.

But one savvy supporter noted of the Portugal playmaker’s pictorial positioning: “Bernardo on the half space during his union with his other half.”
