Bernardo Silva mocks ex-Sporting player for diving after Monaco v City | OneFootball

Bernardo Silva made a taunt at Eric Dier. The player trained at Benfica faced the ex-Sporting in the two-all draw between Monaco and Manchester City last Wednesday, October 1, counting for the second round of the Champions League, a match in which the Citizens' star gave hope of returning to the Red fans.

“It's a bit frustrating, obviously, to concede a goal so late in the game. At a time when, in my opinion, we were controlling, we weren't letting them have many counter-attack opportunities or create danger. So, yes, it's a bit frustrating. Overall, I would say it wasn't a bad performance, but there are things to improve,” he began by saying to TNT Sports.

Next, Bernardo Silva had the opportunity to talk about the penalty for the Monaco team, which ended up determining the final result: “We were a bit frustrated in the end, because we felt that everything was going against us. I haven't seen the penalty incident yet. It might have been a penalty, maybe”.

Already with Eric Dier by his side, the star trained at Benfica did not miss the opportunity to make a humorous taunt at the player trained at Sporting: “I would have to review the play, but... Eric Dier is also known for taking dives, so... [laughs] the truth is that we weren't frustrated with that in particular, because I didn't see the play”.

“I was frustrated because of the small decisions, everything seemed to be against us. And the free kick that then led to the penalty — for us, that wasn't even a foul. We were really frustrated with that,” concluded Bernardo Silva in his analysis of Monaco - Manchester City, which ended in a two-all draw.
