Odegaard incident backfires on Bernardo Silva, ex-Benfica slammed: “Rat” | OneFootball

In stoppage time, with Portugal trying to hold on to a 2-1 win in Norway, Bernardo Silva, who came on in the final minutes, committed a harsh foul on Martin Odegaard, and the former Benfica player is receiving heavy criticism.

After the Arsenal midfielder spoke out, saying that this kind of attitude "has no place in football," the latest post on the Portuguese international's Instagram account was flooded with comments slamming the 32-year-old player.

These are some of the comments: "I hope you get injured until the end of the season"; "your plans to injure Odegaard failed... You'll get injured sooner or later"; "rat"; "you only know how to play dirty... Retire". In addition, many people left only images or rat emojis.

Besides Odegaard, Andreas Schjelderup also criticized Bernardo's behavior. "It's part of the game. It's an ugly late challenge. It's a bit over the top, but unfortunately referees can't see everything", he said in comments to TV2.

This season, wearing the Real Madrid shirt, Bernardo Silva - valued at €22 million - has made six appearances: six in La Liga. In 282 minutes on the pitch, the former Benfica player has one assist.
