Real Madrid’s Unstoppable Counterattacks: Bernardo Silva Reflects on City’s European Exit

Although weeks have passed since Manchester City’s European elimination and Pep Guardiola’s pupils are immersed in the fight for the league title, there are those who have not forgotten Real Madrid. In the case of Bernardo Silva, who missed one of the Citizens’ two penalties in the shootout, the Portuguese stopped by ‘TNT Sports’ to talk about how uncontrollable the white team is.

“Real Madrid is a strange team. Sometimes it seems like you have control of the game and out of nowhere, they run twice (on the counterattack) and score two goals because their players individually are very good. They are so fast and strong on the counterattack that it is not easy to control them.”

“If you attack with too many players, they run on the counter”

In the second leg, where Manchester City was football superior to the whites, Carlo Ancelotti’s team even managed to break the scoreboard at the Etihad Stadium. “If you attack with too many players, they run on the counter.”

“If you don’t attack with many players, it feels like you’re not effective enough to attack them properly. So it is difficult to make these small decisions in the game,” adds Bernardo Silva. Although last year the ‘citizens’ were able to get rid of Real Madrid in the Champions League and emerge as champions, this year the king of the tournament once again imposed his law.
