Bernardo Silva disaster: ex-Benfica man has a night to forget | OneFootball

Manchester City still believed it was possible to overturn the 3-0 from the Bernabéu Stadium, but the early expulsion of Bernardo Silva, with an associated penalty converted by Vinícius Júnior, destroyed all the spirit with which the "citizens" played and dictated their early elimination from the Champions League.

He pointed to the penalty spot and showed the red card to the Portuguese midfielder.

Even with one less player on the field, at 41 minutes, Tijjani Reijnders assisted Jérémy Doku, who beat the young Madrid player Thiago Pitarch, and crossed to Erling Haaland. In the middle, there was still a deflection, but nothing disturbed the Norwegian in doing his job.

However, in the final moments, at 90+4, the Brazilian international Vinícius Júnior sealed the result with another win for the Spaniards (2-1), assisted by Aurélien Tchouaméni, closing the tie with a final aggregate of 5-1.

This season, Bernardo Silva - valued at 27 million euros – has played 41 games so far: 30 in the Premier League, eight in the Champions League, one in the FA Cup, and two in the League Cup. In the 2,947 minutes he was an option, he scored three goals and made five assists.
