Diogo Jota has claimed that Manchester City have three players who are incredible to play alongside.
The former Wolves forward has played alongside some of the best players in the world.
Having played for clubs like Atletico Madrid andLiverpool and also for the Portuguese national team, the 27-year-old has been fortunate in this regard.
Diogo Jota says Man City trio are amazing to play with
Jota is a top player himself but even so, not many players have the opportunity of playing alongside as many stalwarts as he has for both club and country.
In a video with the Carabao Cup via X, Diogo Jota named the Manchester City trident of Ruben Dias, Joao Cancelo and Bernardo Silva in an XI composed of the best players he has ever played with.
“Alisson, in goal. Trent [Alexander-Arnold], right-back. Ruben Dias, centre-back. [Virgil] Van Dijk. Joao Cancelo, left-back. Ruben Neves as a six. Bernardo Silva. [Alexis] Mac Allister. Mo [Salah], right-wing, Cristiano [Ronaldo] up front and myself and that’s my team.”
Previously, the FA Cup winner has lauded Bernardo Silva, stating that he could have named him as the most technically gifted player he has played with; having picked Liverpool’s Thiago initially.
Jota would wish Liverpool had players like Dias, Cancelo and Bernardo
In our view, Diogo Jota would be wishing Liverpool had players of the calibre of Ruben Dias, Joao Cancelo and Bernardo Silva at centre-back, full-back and in attack respectively.
Virgil van Dijk is arguably the best defender in world football but alongside Dias, he could form the standout centre-back partnership in Europe.
Similarly, while Andy Robertson and Trent Alexander-Arnold are outstanding full-backs, Joao Cancelo could provide them competition at both right-back and left-back.
Cancelo could even start in place of either and the Reds would not notice a major difference; such is the quality he possesses.
As for Bernardo Silva, being one of the best midfielders in the world, he could bring genuine elite quality to Liverpool in the middle of the park.
A midfield duo of the six-time Premier League winner and Alexis Mac Allister would be a joy to watch, with Wataru Endo as the destroyer behind the pair.
Luckily for Manchester City, they have the trio at their disposal for years, who have played crucial roles in their success.
