Pep Guardiola believes Bernardo Silva's winning goal against Chelsea shows how football lets you come back strong after tough times.
He's loved by fans for his hard work, amazing skills, and dedication to the team. But after missing a penalty against Real Madrid, he felt down. Guardiola shared that Bernardo had a tough few days, but his goal against Chelsea proved he's resilient.
Pep said: "I am so happy for Bernardo. Life and football always gives you second chance - and it did."
"I was thinking about changing him and putting Oscar out on the right, but after the goal he was so intelligent to keep the ball, especially defensively and in the final third."
"I could not change him. I knew after 25 minutes, he was so tired, but If I have Bernardo on the pitch, I feel more safe and comfortable for many, many reasons. They were not easy days for him, but he did it - he gave us the goal to get us to the final."
This season Bernardo Silva scored 11 goals and made 5 assists across 42 appearances for his club.
