How are people saying it wasn't his fault? Our captain got sent off & gave a penalty away 20 minutes into a massive game, of course it was his fault.

Because he’s won a lot with city, he’s a good lad and works hard

All of those are true and it’s also true he is a liability at this point and his forced presence in the lineup hurts us

Not mutually exclusive.

People have a hard time accepting that.

I’ve been saying this for a long time. He’s gotten away with it hundreds of times, but for years I’ve watched him make incredibly stupid moves while on a yellow card. He dives, falls, and provokes opponents, and tonight it all caught up to him. Unfortunately, it came at the highest possible price

He's been sent off once in his whole career. That wouldn't back up your claim that he acts stupidly on yellow. If a few more of the fairies in the side would show the same bollox he has we'd be in a better place.

No, he didn't cost the game, let alone the tie. It looked like he's lost the confidence in the team and lost a bit of composure. Up to that point, City was decent in attack but was all over the place on defense. Case in point: barely one minute in,a Madrid forward got a one-on-one with our goalkeeper, which frankly, he should have scored. Then, at about 15th minute, Vinicius hit the post. The ball was collected by one Madrid player and he crossed for the shot which led to Bernardo's red card offense. City's defense just wasn't good enough. Even if they had managed to score three goals, they would've conceded at least two. They may have won the game, but no way the tie.

Agree with this , it could have been 3-3 after twenty minutes and 5-5 at half time , great entertainment for the neutral , but a more measured approach was required , the problem is our crowd were giving everything to push us forward and attack and players do react to an atmosphere. Ultimately we lost the tie at the Bernabeu not last night at the Etihad.
 
Sooner or later, he was going to get a red card, and I wouldn't be surprised if he gets sent off again before the end of the season; he's already come close to being sent off several times, notably against Newcastle where he deliberately went into Burn when he already had a yellow card and the referee was lenient, how many times have we seen him fail to win back a ball and then kick or tackle from behind? In fact, I think he's close to a suspension due to the accumulation of yellow cards.

Without the ball, he always gives his all, he runs everywhere. You can't fault his desire and love for the shirt, but it makes him lose all focus. His runs are completely ineffective, he wins very few balls on the ground, and zero in aerial duels.

And with the ball, unfortunately, he rarely makes a difference. He no longer creates scoring opportunities for himself or his teammates, and even in front of goal, he's not as clinical as he used to be. His last goal at West Ham was a lucky escape when he tried to cross for his teammates. And against Nottingham Forest, he received a superb pass from Doku in the last minute for three points, and he couldn't even shoot; he missed the ball between his legs...

He should be thanked for everything he's given to the club, and above all, he shouldn't play another season too many. To tarnish its image, new players, fresh in mind and in body, must take over.
 
I adore this little man so much, my CBT guy is the spitting image of him, it is very weird, he is a spurs fan so knows who bernie is and has had it said to him before lol

Please stay bernie

I'm just going to say it, lads...

Bernardo Silva is the best player in the club's history.

Wouldn't go that far, but he has shown more in the biggest games than David or Yaya. Up there with Kevin in terms of performances against the best teams in Europe. And in his own category re: performances at the grounds of our rivals.
