Bernardo Silva has said he \u201cdidn\u2019t sleep\u201d after his penalty miss against Real Madrid but credited the \u201cunbelievable\u201d support of his Manchester City teammates as helping him through.<\/p>\n
Silva bounced back from his miss in the shootout which contributed to City\u2019s Champions League (CL) exit on Wednesday by scoring the only goal in the 1-0 win over Chelsea in the FA Cup semifinal on Saturday.<\/p>\n
He said the days in-between were \u201ctough\u201d but his winner at Wembley has kept Pep Guardiola\u2019s side on course for a second successive Premier League and FA Cup double.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was a frustrating night for me [on Wednesday],\u201d Silva said. \u201c[And a] frustrating week for me personally, for the whole team, because we wanted to go after another historic season and we can still go for it, but it was a big disappointment to get knocked out of the Champions League.<\/p>\n
\u201cFirst night, I didn\u2019t sleep much, second night, you sleep a bit better, the third night you sleep almost the whole night, but it is what it is.\u201d<\/p>\n
Silva went on to explain what was going through his head as he chipped his penalty down the middle only for Real Madrid goalkeeper Andriy Lunin to stand still and gather the shot with relative ease.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo basically, I had two options,\u201d he said. \u201cI had in my mind one of the sides, I\u2019m not going to tell you which, and the middle. I was waiting, I wanted to be the second or the third penalty to see the reaction from the keeper in the first or the first two penalties.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd he moved early, that\u2019s why I thought the middle was good because [in] moments of pressure the keepers, 99% of the time, they move but he chose not to move and fair play to him, well done. It is what it is.\u201d<\/p>\n
