Bernardo Silva: "we are not the favorites for the title now"

  /  Mmmbappé

Bernardo Silva: "It was tough because we played against a top, top team, very well-organised, very competitive, high rhythm. 

"I think it could have gone both ways, to be honest. I thought we started better but during the game they were very good as well. 

"We had more control, more possession, but they were always dangerous in set-pieces, in counters. 

"It was tough to play against them, man-to-man when they were pressing high, and when they were defending low, their wingers were playing like full-backs, almost in a line of six. 

"So, it’s never easy to play against teams who defend this well when high pressing and when defending deep, so connected."

"Let's be real, we are NOT the favorites for the title now. We will not play against Arsenal and Liverpool and they are ahead of us in the standings so we are dependent on what happens with their results."
