Manchester City sinks a little deeper into crisis with each meeting. Latest episode to date, the derby against Manchester United, lost this Saturday (1-2), marking the Citizens’ first defeat at home in the Premier League since March 7, 2021.
Everything started well for Pep Guardiola’s men, who took the lead on the scoreboard in the first half. But in the space of two fateful minutes, the Red Devils completely turned the situation around. Bruno Fernandes first equalized from the penalty spot, before Amad Diallo delivered the final blow in the final seconds of regulation time.
A deserved defeat for Bernardo Silva
After the match, Bernardo Silva did not mince his words to express his disappointment at this new poor performance. The Portuguese attacking midfielder delivered a bitter observation, denouncing a performance unworthy of the English champions.
“If it’s a game or two, you can say it’s good luck or bad luck. This is not the case! If in the 87th minute of a derby, where you have a corner, the ball ends up in the hands of your goalkeeper, and you manage to concede a penalty… My friend, we deserve that. In the last minutes, we played like U15s. We made stupid decisions”judged the former Monegasque.
