Bernardo Silva: We are at the Bottom of the Darkness

City Stunned by Sporting CP as Pressure Mounts Amid Recent Losses

Manchester City’s Champions League campaign took a hit after a 4-1 defeat to Sporting CP, with Bernardo Silva acknowledging the team’s struggles. City initially took the lead with a third-minute goal by Phil Foden, but Sporting countered effectively, with Viktor Gyokeres scoring a hat-trick, including two penalties. Erling Haaland missed a crucial penalty in what turned out to be a tough farewell for Sporting’s Manchester United-bound coach, Ruben Amorim.

Silva’s Candid Take

Silva expressed disappointment and concern about the team’s form, saying, “We’re in a bit of a dark place right now. Everything seems to be going wrong.” He emphasized the team’s need to assess their current issues and find ways to improve, noting that City must rebound quickly to avoid further setbacks. Silva added, “I don’t remember us losing three games in a row in seven-and-a-half seasons. It just feels like this team is heading the wrong way now.”
