Bernardo Silva was surprised to see Liverpool and Arsenal drop points over the weekend.
Manchester City stormed past Luton Town to retake the lead in the Premier League title race, while Crystal Palace defeated the Reds and Aston Villa crushed the Gunners. The reigning champions are now two points clear at the top of the table, with an eight-goal difference separating Arsenal and Liverpool, respectively.
Speaking to reporters ahead of Manchester City's clash against Real Madrid in the Champions League quarterfinal second leg, Silva admitted it was a 'very good weekend' for the club.

"It was obviously a very good weekend for us; I’m not going to deny that because personally, I wasn’t expecting both teams to drop points," said the 29-year-old midfielder. "Before, we didn’t depend only on ourselves, so we had to do our job and wait for them to drop points.
"Now the situation has changed a bit because we just depend on ourselves because if we do our job properly, we win the Premier League so happy with the results and not going to deny that. But there is a long way to go."
Silva added: "Two weeks ago, when we played Arsenal, everything looked like it was gone and now it looks like Man City is going to win the Premier League. In two weeks, maybe it will change again.
"That’s why football is beautiful because things changes so quick and you need to be really focused game by game. It’s not right to start thinking about trebles because it’s not realistic.
"We have to be game by game, Madrid tomorrow, then on the weekend we have another tough game against Chelsea in the FA Cup, then we have Premier League. In oneweek,k we could lose all three competitions.
"We have to be focused game by game, do our job well, and to extend this hope for one more week and eventually hopefully we will do it again."
Manchester City, Liverpool and Arsenal each have just six games left to play in the title race, with everything still to play for. With Jurgen Klopp set to leave Anfield at the end of the season, the German will be determined to bow out with second Premier League medal.
