Portugal 1-0 Netherlands: 3 players who won the UEFA Nations League title for Portugal

#1 Bernardo Silva

Silva provided the assist for Portugal's goal

The 24-year-old initially struggled to justify his massive €50 million transfer fee at Manchester City, as he made just 15 starting appearances throughout the 2017/18 campaign.

Fortunately, Pep Guardiola figured out Bernardo's best position for the tightly-packed City midfield and moved the former Monaco star into a more central role. Bernardo has blossomed since he switched his part, scoring 5 goals and 7 assists from his new position.

However, his reputation as a deadly attacker has not tarnished, as he consistently became one of Portugal's best players when playing in his natural position. He put a dominant display despite not throwing a single shot during the UEFA Nations League final.

He became the player with most dribble as well as most key passes in the game. He also displayed a perfect link-up play to assist Guedes for the winning goal. Overall, Bernardo had another impressive spell and surely deserved his player of the tournament award.
