Bernardo Silva is determined to right a wrong after firing Manchester City back to the Champions League final.The Portugal playmaker struck twice as City overpowered Real Madrid 4-0 in the second leg of their semi-final on Wednesday to set up a clash with Inter Milan in next months Istanbul showpiece.It marks a return to the final for City two years on from their disappointing lo s to Chelsea on European club footballs top night and Silva wants to ensure the result is different this time.The 28-year-old said: The final of the Champions League is always an unbelievable Cameron Maybin Jersey occasion.Ive only played it once and the outcome was wasnt very happy for me. Lets try and change that.We Zack Cozart Jersey know that we play against a very tough team. I watched their game on Tuesday and they are very organised collectively.Were going to study them, follow the managers plan once again and try to, individually and collectively, put out the best po sible performance, like this one, to be as close as po sible to winning that game. City produced one of the greatest performances in the clubs history to move a step closer to winning the competition for the first time.Real Madrid, the holders and 14-time winners of the trophy, had no answer to Citys dizzying combination of movement, speed, strength and cutting edge.City made a blistering start and maintained the intensity throughout. Silva put them into a thoroughly deserved lead after 23 minutes and added a second before the interval.An Eder Militao own goal and late Julian Alvarez strike made the scoreline 5-1 on aggregate and truly reflective of Huston Street Jersey their superiority. Victory could have been even more emphatic with Real goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois making three fine saves to deny Erling Haaland.Citys display ensured sweet revenge for their lo s to the same opponents in the semi-finals last year.Im very happy because the performance was amazing, Silva said. From minute one, the pre sure that we put on Real Madrids defence we pushed them back and we created lots of chances.And with our people the energy we felt the momentum that we created. It helped a lot.The second half started in a weird way where they put us under a bit of pre sure but I think the Justin Upton Jersey team was very resilient, very organised, and the difference from this year to last year was the chances we created most of them. We took them and we scored the goals.The Champions League final could be the crowning moment of a glorious treble for Pep Guardiolas City this season.They will claim the first of the three trophies they are chasing if they beat Chelsea in the Premier League on Sunday.Silva said: Yes, with our people again. Hopefully we can give them another happy day and give them the special moment of winning five (Premier Leagues) in six years, which is not easy in this country.Were going to rest, sleep well, eat well and prepare well to be at our best Garrett Richards Jersey and give that happine s to them because they deserve it. |
