Few had imagined that City's defeat at the Bernabeu. With those dimensions, in that way and above all with such a profound result! Midfielder Bernardo Silva described the team's 3-0 defeat to Real as a very gloomy feeling.
"It's hard to talk, we feel gloomy... My feeling on the pitch was that we started well - commented the Portuguese -. But here we could not control the environment and I think the team let their emotions get to them, which affected the game. We felt comfortable and were finding the right spaces, but after we conceded the first goal we completely lost control", added Silva. Further, the midfielder from Portugal admitted that "when you play against Real Madrid, with the quality they have, you pay the price. It is a difficult stadium to play in. But we are used to playing in these stadiums. You have to go through these moments to become better. It was just a learning match, for the whole team...".
Confidence in the comeback – “I believe we will try to play the remaining chances, in the return match at home! – continued the Portuguese – It is frustrating that we did not score at least one goal. Although we believe that everything is still possible because in football we have seen all kinds of upsets”, said Silva, who concluded his statement by saying: “Now is the time to reflect and see what we did not do properly. Then next week, we will hope that we can do something”.
Carragher on Guardiola – After City's heavy defeat, critical voices in the British media and the opinions of former players have opened a strong debate on the future of Pep Guardiola on the bench. Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher did not mince his words after the defeat. "This will most likely be Guardiola's last season in Manchester and it will be difficult to turn the result around in this knockout phase against Real. How many years has he been here? Ten? Only one Champions League, I believe the fans will feel disappointed". The candidate to replace him remains his former student, Enco Mareska.
