Bernie , loved to see him back
The defenders are great as well
Welcome back Bernardo! Responded perfectly to whichever role assigned and gave his very best throughout the 90'.
Pep's decision to move him centrally as a false 9 gave him the freedom to express himself, contributing significantly to the team's effort during 2nd half. Bernardo was everywhere, operating according to the specific needs of the action taking place in front of him. Constantly positioning himself so as to provide a passing option for his teammates and asking for the ball, keeping it and controlling the rhythm, running with it and creating space for others, setting up a teammate etc.
By nature, Bernardo is the kind of player that will never hide. His activity was crucial for the balances of the game in the 2nd half, relieving the team and providing numerical superiority in midfield...
Inexcusable for missing that chance, yes, but wasting clear opportunities has become one of City's permanent characteristics, he is not the only one to blame. So I prefer to focus on the positives of his performance, as the team needs him desperately...
Ilkay (again!), Kevin, and the whole back four also deserve honorable mentions.
