'We learn from our mistakes' - Bernardo explains how past Champions League heartache is spurring Man City on

Bernardo Silva believes Manchester City have learned to accept they will have to dig deep defensively in the latter stages of the Champions League and they don't need to dominate possession in order to win.

City advanced to the semi-finals on Wednesday night after a 1-1 draw with Bayern Munich which saw them win the tie 4-1 on aggregate. Erling Haaland scored on the night in Germany before Joshua Kimmich leveled from the penalty spot.

It was one of the Blues' most mature and comfortably handled European knock-out ties of Pep Guardiola's reign as they advanced against the Bundesliga champions fairly easily despite seeing less of the ball in both legs and coming under heavy pressure throughout. Bernardo believes City have learned from their past mistakes in the Champions League to put in a performance of that level.
