After the match, Dias said: “I am very happy. It was a very important game for me and to be able to consecrate the game with a goal, it was very special for me.

“It is a special moment and I think everyone already knows why.”

City have been in talks with Benfica over signing Dias for a fee in excess of £50million, which would see Nicolas Otamendi move the other way.

Pep Guardiola has been on the lookout for a right-sided centre-half since Vincent Kompany left the Etihad at the end of the 2018/19 season.

John Stones and Otamendi have struggled for form over the past year and are no longer guaranteed starters under Guardiola.

The Citizens had been targeting Napoli defender Kalidou Koulibaly, but were put off by the Italian club’s £80m asking price.
