Bernardo Mota Veiga de Carvalho e Silva (born 10 August 1994) is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays for Ligue 1 club AS Monaco and the Portugal national team, as a midfielder.
A product of Benfica's youth system, Silva played for its ranks, and in 2013 they won the 2012–13 Portuguese Juniors Championship. He made his debut for Benfica B in a 2013–14 Segunda Liga match against Trofense on 10 August 2013 (Matchday 1).
On 19 October 2013, Silva made his debut for Benfica at the age of 19, in a 2013–14 Taça de Portugal third round 1–0 away victory against Campeonato Nacional de Seniores club Clube Desportivo de Cinfães, coming out of the bench in the 80th minute. His good performance for Benfica B in the 2013–14 Segunda Liga earned him the Segunda Liga Breakthrough Player of the Year (2013–14). He was a member of Benfica's domestic treble-winning team of the 2013–14 season.
Bernardo Silva has never been shy in publicly showing his love for Benfica either on social media, where he actively follows the club, or on different newspapers' interviews. He has told that he is sorry for not having played consistently like he had always dreamed for the club's main squad. Silva expects to come back "home" and finalize his career at Benfica.
On 7 August 2014, Silva joined Monaco on one-year loan deal. He made his Monaco debut on 17 August in a Ligue 1 away match against Girondins de Bordeaux, replacing Lucas Ocampos in the second half. On 21 September, he made his first start for Monaco, in a 1-0 Ligue 1 home win against Guingamp. On 14 December, he scored the only goal of the 1-0 home win against Olympique de Marseille in a Ligue 1 match.
