Pep Guardiola's side beat Galatasaray to reach the Champions League last 16 and remain in the hunt for trophies on all four fronts.

Guardiola has bought 12 new players in the past 13 months to rebuild his team after a woeful campaign last season which saw City fail to win a major trophy.

Silva admits it has taken some of the "new blood" time to settle in and get used to the tactics and demands of Guardiola.

But he reckons City will only get stronger as the season reaches a climax.

The Portuguese midfielder said: "It's clear the club decided to go for the renovation of a squad that won a lot, but needed new blood. They went for it, and it takes time.
