The Portuguese playmaker has been in sparkling form in recent weeks, scoring and creating goals during City’s epic 12-game winning run.
His tireless displays have been at the heart of City’s winning run and his crucial goal against Aston Villa swung a tightly-contested game.
Asked if he felt Bernardo was firing on cylinders again, the boss said: “What a huge competitor.
“He was absolutely brilliant against Sheffield United.
“His humility – in bad moments he never lost the smile. He had difficult period when he was accused of being something he was not.
“It was so hurtful for him and he struggled.
“But I am delighted he is back and playing the level we know.
“He can do everything. He is a top fantastic player.”
