BERNARDO SILVA struck gold at Monaco.
Not only did the Portuguese star help the club win their first Ligue 1 title in 17 years – he met his future girlfriend.

Alicia Verrando, 24, was working in the marketing department for Les Monegasques while studying towards a degree in business.
The half-French, half-Portuguese beauty would later get a full-time job with the club as a project manager.
Alicia grew up local to the club in Monte Carlo, Monaco.
She studied at the SKEMA Business School in Sophia Antipolis an hour down the road, just outside Cannes.

Her Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration and Management also allowed Alicia to spend a semester – around 15 weeks – at California State University.
Alicia left her job at Monaco in 2017, moving with Bernardo after he made his £43.5million move to the Etihad.
The 24-year-old has a modelling contract with J’adore Models and has travelled around the world to wear clothes.
Alicia has also promoted items such as phone cases and cosmetic items to her 20,000 Instagram followers.
But while Silva’s £120,000-a-week contract and modelling may have been enough to keep some wags to stay out of full-time work, Alicia is different.
Earlier this month she joined Manchester-based PR Firm Roland Dransfield.
Working as an account executive, Alicia could expect to work with clients such as Premiership rugby club Sale Sharks or massive financial firms Schroders or Legal & General.
According to her Linkedin page, Alicia even speaks six languages – French, Portuguese, English, Italian, Spanish and Chinese.
On social media, Alicia has described “health”, “fitness” and “lifestyle” as the most important things to her.
Alicia has been a keen supporter of Bernardo on the pitch, travelling to watch him play at the World Cup and as a frequent visitor to the Etihad.
She was pictured with the Premier League trophy after Pep Guardiola guided Man City to a brilliant title win last season.
