FT: Real Madrid 3-0 Man City
Manchester City midfielder Bernardo Silva, speaking to TNT Sports: “It is difficult to speak about it because I would
need to watch it again. My feeling on the pitch was that we started the game
well.
“The environment we could not control and I think my team let the emotions
change the game. We felt comfortable and were finding the right spaces but
after conceding the first one we lost completely the control, we stopped
controlling transitions and second balls. When you play against Real Madrid
with the quality they have you pay the price.
“It is a tough stadium to play at. We are used to playing at
these stadiums because playing at Anfield and St James’ Park is very tough. You
need to go through these moments to become better and today was just a learning
game for the whole team.
“It is quite frustrating [we didn’t score], even though we believe it is still
possible because in football a lot of things can happen, at half-time we were
saying, ‘the situation is bad’ there were a lot of things that shouldn’t have
happened but with one goal you are in the tie.
At 3-0 it makes it a bit more
difficult. Now it feels really bad, now it feels really dark. Tomorrow is
another day and for sure next week we will go to the game thinking we have a
chance.
“Right now is the moment to reflect and see what we didn’t
do right. Then next week when we are preparing we will be hopeful we can do
something.”
