Ex-Benfica star frustrated after heavy Real Madrid-Man City loss | OneFootball

Manchester City has a very tough task ahead in the second leg of the Champions League round of 16 after losing 3-0 away to Real Madrid this Wednesday. Bernardo Silva was the captain of the "Citizens" in the match and the former Benfica player was visibly disappointed after the game, as his team failed to score a single goal.

"We didn't score any goals? It's very frustrating, although we still believe it's possible, because in football many things can happen. At halftime, we were saying: 'The situation is bad.' Many things happened that shouldn't have, but with just one goal, we would have been back in the fight. The 3-0 scoreline makes the task even harder," he said in an interview with TNT Sports.

The Portuguese international admitted that the team did not recover after conceding the first goal. "We couldn't control the atmosphere and I think my team let emotions change the game. We felt comfortable and were finding the right spaces, but after conceding the first goal, we completely lost control, we stopped controlling the transitions and the second balls. When you play against Real Madrid, with the quality they have, you pay the price," he admitted.

It’s worth remembering that this... and in April they have matches against Chelsea and Arsenal themselves in the Premier League.
