Norway captain Martin Odegaard has hit out at Bernardo Silva following a controversial challenge during Sunday's international clash at Ullevaal. The midfielder was left visibly distressed and limping after a late tackle from the Portugal star, sparking fears over his fitness for both club and country.
Real Madrid star Bernardo Silva was deployed alongside defenders in Jorge Jesus' first training session as Portugal manager. The tactical decision immediately evoked memories of their famous 2014 pre-season experiment together at Benfica.
Bernardo Silva has hailed the frightening offensive strength of the Real Madrid squad following their dominant display against Rayo Vallecano. The Portuguese playmaker, who is still finding his feet in the Spanish capital, admitted he is amazed by the quality of his new teammates in the final third.
Real Madrid delivered an emphatic response to their recent domestic slip-up by comfortably brushing aside city rivals Rayo Vallecano at the Santiago Bernabeu. Led by a clinical brace from Kylian Mbappe, the hosts moved level on points with leaders Barcelona to maintain strong early momentum at the top of the Liga table after five games.
