Fans on social media have noticed a hilarious coincidence in Bernardo Silva's wedding photo as he posed for a picture with his Manchester City teammates.
Silva tied the knot with model Ines Tomaz over the weekend in Portugal, with several of his current club colleagues in attendance.
Fellow countryman Ruben Dias and Joao Cancelo attended the ceremony, alongside Kyle Walker and Riyad Mahrez plus super-agent Jorge Mendes.

And the picture had the players in their correct positions, highlighting Pep Guardiola's influence even from afar.
Centre-back Dias was at the rear, Walker and Cancelo were both out wide not to mention Mahrez while Silva was up front, with a fan brilliantly suggesting a 'false nine' role.
Twitter user @ClinicalBruno39 shared the picture of Silva and the Man City stars online, accompanied with the caption: "Even in this picture everyone of them is in his correct position. Pep Guardiola really is the best man."

Needless to say, the image of the players in their correct positions sent social media wild.
One wrote: "How did it happen like that? Years of Pep Guardiola can cause this."
A second tweeted: "Bernardo playing false nine."
A third added: "Bernardo on the half space during his union with his other half."

A fourth said: "Bernardo Silva’s position is crazy accurate."
Another commented: "I guess John Stones wasn’t invited because he might have been tempted to move into an advanced position & block out the view of the groom..."
Silva getting married comes after a sensational campaign last season as he helped his side win a famous treble.
The 28-year-old played 55 games in all competitions and scored seven goals.

Since the end of the 2022/23 term, the Portuguese has been linked with a move away from the Etihad.
Saudi Pro League side Al Hilal have reportedly offered him a whopping contract, with Paris Saint-Germain also keen on snapping up the player.
