Pep Guardiola described Erling Haaland as an “incredible machine” after the Manchester City striker’s 48th goal in 41 games rubber-stamped a Champions League semi-final date with Real Madrid.
And Bernardo Silva fired the first psychological shots ahead of that showdown when he insisted City will get payback for their dramatic defeat at the hands of the Spanish giants at the same stage of last season’s competition.
When asked about revenge for that loss, Silva smiled: “We will go for it. We always go for it but we feel the team is very, very confident at the minute. I think we are going through. We are very consistent, we feel we have a chance in every competition and we are going for them.”
