Bernardo Silva redeemed himself by scoring Manchester City winning goal in the FA Cup semi-final against Chelsea following a sleepless night due to his penalty miss against Real Madrid in the Champions League. Despite the disappointment, Silva acknowledged the emotional toll of the game but emphasized the need to cope with such pressures in football.
He received criticism for his penalty strategy but defended his decision, citing his assessment of the goalkeeper movements. Silva praised his team support and expressed frustration at the scheduling of the FA Cup match just 72 hours after the Real Madrid game echoing concerns raised by manager Pep Guardiola. He argued that such scheduling was unfair to the players’ health and the club’s representation in European competitions.
The FA maintains that scheduling decisions are made collaboratively considering various factors.
