Bernardo Silva reflects on 'really dark' Real Madrid humiliation

Manchester City captain Bernardo Silva has offered a grim assessment of the club's bruising 3-0 defeat to Real Madrid. A sensational hat-trick from Federico Valverde left the Premier League champions reeling in the first leg of their Champions League round-of-16 tie at the Santiago Bernabeu, leaving Pep Guardiola’s side with a mountain to climb in the return leg.

Revealed: Vini asked Valverde if he wanted to take Man City penalty

Real Madrid’s 3-0 demolition of Manchester City in the Champions League last-16 was almost the perfect night for Los Blancos, but for Vinicius Junior's missed penalty that could've added further gloss to the result. In the 58th minute, after the Brazilian forward was felled in the box, cameras caught the moment Vinicius gestured towards Valverde, offering the midfielder the chance to step up and bag what would have been a remarkable fourth goal of the game.

📽️ | Bellingham's gobsmacked reaction to Valverde's hat-trick

Valverde & the 20 players in L'Equipe's exclusive 10/10 club

Within a Real Madrid squad that is packed full of Galacticos, Fede Valverde is rarely singled out for what he offers to Los Blancos despite his obvious importance to the team. On Wednesday, though, he was able to hog the limelight after his stunning first-half hat-trick saw off Manchester City in the Champions League. His performance also earned him the rarest of plaudits: A 10/10 rating from L'Equipe.

📽️ | Valverde 'handed Ballon d'Or' after Man City hat-trick

Federico Valverde produced a masterclass that will go down in Champions League folklore, leading Real Madrid to a dominant 3-0 victory over Manchester City. The Uruguayan midfield engine was outstanding, netting a stunning hat-trick to help the Spanish giants put one foot in the quarter-finals. His performance was so good that a reporter in the mixed zone decided to skip the formalities and jokingly crown him with a 'Ballon d'Or' on the spot.
