Pep Guardiola had already revealed it and Bernardo Silva also said that the Manchester City squad watched the final minutes at Luz with anticipation and was thrilled with Benfica’s victory over Real Madrid (4-2).
«Happy because, even with some drama… we were following and, when we saw Benfica’s goalkeeper advancing into the area, it was a mix of emotions, because Benfica needed the goal, but if Real scored we were out. There ended up being a lot of emotion in that locker room. Avoiding two games at this stage of the season is very important, especially due to the injuries the team has at the moment”, said the Portuguese international, to the microphones of TNT Sports.
“We saw the last three minutes. We didn’t know that Benfica needed a goal to qualify for the play-offs, when we saw the goalkeeper going up we were all saying “Please no””, he added.
Asked about the next step in his career, given that his contract ends at the end of the season, Bernardo Silva assumed that he is already planning what he is going to do.
“I have an idea [do que vai fazer]but I don’t think this is the right time to talk about it. When it is, I will announce it with Manchester City and you will know”, he concluded.
