Bernardo Silva hailed the Manchester City fans for helping to provide the energy that propelled their astonishing destruction of Real Madrid at the Etihad and believes it was fuelled by the frustration and agony of previous Champions League defeats.
City tore into the serial European Cup winners from kick-off on Wednesday night, producing a performance that Bernardo called "amazing", and they were roared on by a raucous atmosphere inside the stadium.
The UEFA anthem was booed before kick-off once again and has there occasionally been some indifference to the competition amongst City's fanbase, but a song about reaching Istanbul was sung regularly during the 4-0 win against Real.
