Manchester City’s Portuguese international Bernardo Silva is struggling to understand his team’s defeat against Real Madrid.
Manchester City experienced disappointment in the quarter-final of the Champions League against Real Madrid. After a spectacular draw in the first leg (3-3), Pep Guardiola’s men failed to break the Madrid barrier on the return leg (1-1).
The match was finally decided on penalties, where the Madrilenians won (4-3). A setback that Bernardo Silva, the Citizens’ attacking midfielder and first-leg scorer, still cannot explain.
Real Madrid on the way to a 15th LdC
“Real is a strange team, judged Bernardo Silva for TNT Sports. Sometimes you feel like you are controlling the match, and out of nothing they attack twice and score you two goals because their individuals are very good, very fast and very strong on the counter-attack. It’s not easy to control them. It’s not easy because if you attack with too many players, they go on the counter. But if you don’t attack with a lot of players, you feel like you’re not effective enough. »
This elimination put an end to the European dreams of City, who had the ambition to lift the big-eared cup for the second time in a row. Real Madrid, for their part, continues its road towards a 15th coronation in the premier competition of Europe. The Merengue will face Bayern Munich in the semi-final first leg this Tuesday evening at the Allianz Arena. Another big piece of European football.
