Manchester City unveil statues of Silva, Kompany

Manchester City on Saturday unveiled statues of club legends David Silva and Vincent Kompany at the club’s Etihad Stadium.

The statues made their debut in a specially commissioned video on the club’s website and social media accounts.

Built of welded pieces of galvanized steel, the statues were created by award-winning sculptor Andy Scott.

The statues will be illuminated at night with blue-tinted lighting.

Both Belgian defender Kompany and Spanish midfielder Silva contributed to the most successful era in Manchester City’s 127-year history, playing there for 11 years and 10 years respectively, mostly in the 2010s.
