Coming from a good streak in the season, the Manchester City now turn all your attention to the dispute of the Champions League. This Tuesday, at 4 pm (Brasília time), the club will visit the Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium, for the first leg of the tournament’s semifinal.
Midfielder Bernardo Silva showed, at the same time, confidence in his team and respect for the opponent, but said he “does not fear” anything during the confrontation.
“Why should we fear them? We’re going to try to maintain the momentum we’ve been building over the last few months to get to the game confident and win”, began the Portuguese after the victory over Osasuna last Saturday.
When asked about the weight of Real Madrid’s shield, Bernardo rejected the idea presented. According to the athlete, the question is not about emblems, but about the quality of the squad commanded by Carlo Ancelotti.
“It’s never about the emblem. If Real Madrid didn’t have Modric, Kroos, Vinícius Júnior, Benzema, they wouldn’t win anything. The shirt, by itself, doesn’t do anything. We’d be stupid if we didn’t respect them, but we have that goal of winning ”, commented Bernardo.
Manchester City, who advanced by dispatching Bayern Munchen, is looking for his first Champions League cup. Defending champions Real Madrid, meanwhile, eliminated Chelsea in the quarterfinals and wants to win his 15th title.
