Bernardo Silva hits out at Liverpool fans following Champions League loss

Manchester City midfielder Bernardo Silva called Liverpool fans who targeted him on social media following the side’s loss to Lyon in the Champions League quarter-final as “pathetic”. 

The Portuguese player took to Twitter to express his frustration and disappointment over Premier League rivals, Liverpool’s fans. At first he started by talking about a disappointing season. He said, “The 2019/2020 season has ended for us in a very disappointing way. To all the fans, we’re sorry for this frustrating season. The only thing we can promise is that in 2020/2021 we’ll fight a lot to do much better and get back to winning important things for you guys!”

His next tweet however, had completely different emotions. He said, “And to all Liverpool fans that have nothing else to do than to come to a Man City player account, I’m also sorry for you but for the wrong reasons…pathetic… go celebrate your titles, or try to find a partner, drink a beer with a friend, read a book…so many options!”

Manchester City lost 3-1 to Lyon in their third consecutive quarter-final defeat. Following the loss, coach Pep Guardiola told BT Sport, “We made mistakes in both boxes at key moments and that’s why we are out. We scored a magnificent goal but unfortunately we missed another one. You have to be perfect, you cannot make mistakes.”
