<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/alejandro-garnacho">Alejandro Garnacho</a> and Bernardo Silva were two of the standout figures in the 2024 Community Shield final, which saw Manchester City emerge victorious over Manchester United in a penalty shootout after a 1-1 draw in regulation time.



Garnacho scored a late goal to give <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/manchester-united">Manchester United</a> a 1-0 lead, and with just minutes left, he tried to run down the clock, seemingly securing the win for the Red Devils against their bitter rivals. However, during a stoppage in play, Garnacho was fouled hard by Silva, which earned him a yellow card.



After City’s triumph, Silva addressed the incident that sparked criticism due to the aggressive nature of the foul, especially against a player as young as Garnacho. Unapologetic, Silva defended his actions on the field, saying, “I’m fine with my yellow card.”



<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/bernardo-silva">Silva</a> elaborated on his reasoning: “I think it was a foul in our favor, and he didn’t need to go for the ball. If he touches the ball, I’m allowed to do something like that. I knew I was going to get booked, but the rules are the rules.”

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/manchester-city">Manchester City</a> midfielder also criticized Garnacho for trying to delay the game in the final moments. “At that point in the match, we were losing and needed to restart play quickly. That tactic of trying to slow the game down is something I don’t like,” Silva stated, putting an end to the debate.



<h2>Manchester United legend praises Alejandro Garnacho</h2>



While Roy Keane, the Manchester United legend, was critical of Erik ten Hag’s squad during the final against Manchester City, he singled out Alejandro Garnacho for praise. “He does everything good players do. Good players have an impact on the game, and every time he’s on the field, he makes a difference. He finds a way through, scores a great goal. When he’s on the pitch, I expect that from him,” Keane said.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/soccer/erik-ten-hags-message-to-manchester-united-owners"></div>


As for the rest of the United squad, Keane didn’t hold back in his critique. “In the end, they weren’t strong enough and will need a bit more composure to avoid conceding late goals like the one they did against Manchester City,” he concluded in his conversation with ITV.

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/manchester-united">Manchester United</a>, in a match that seemed destined to end in a draw, found an unexpected hero. In the 82nd minute, when the Red Devils’ hopes were beginning to fade, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/alejandro-garnacho">Alejandro Garnacho</a> received the ball on the edge of the area.



With innate skill and surprising coolness, the young Argentine eluded several <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/manchester-city">Manchester City </a>defenders and, with a cross-shot, beat the resistance of the rival goalkeeper. The stadium erupted in jubilation as United fans celebrated the tie-breaking goal in the 2024 Community Shield.



The match had passed without major shocks, a tactical duel and mutual study. However, in the blink of an eye, Garnacho broke the balance of the match. His goal was a balm for United fans, who saw their team close to victory.

<h2>A heart-stopping finish to the Community Shield!</h2>



When everything seemed to indicate that Manchester United would take the victory thanks to Garnacho’s goal, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/bernardo-silva">Bernardo Silva</a> appeared to cool the euphoria of the Manchester City. In the 89th minute, the Portuguese midfielder took advantage of a defensive oversight to shoot at goal and force a penalty shootout, thus extending the excitement until the last breaths of the match.

Bernardo Silva is having an extraordinary season with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/manchester-city">Manchester City</a>. The Portuguese midfielder has played in 51 matches as a key piece for Pep Guardiola in their historic quest for the treble: <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/champions-league">Champions League</a>, Premier League and FA Cup. 



Silva is 28-years old and, as a star on his prime, many clubs in Europe are ready to make him a big offer. His contract with Manchester City expires on 2025, but, anything could happen in the summer.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230508#CMS#0011"></div>


That’s why, in the last few days, a powerhouse is ready to pursuit <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/bernardo-silva">Bernardo Silva</a> in case he decides to leave the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/premier-league">Premier League</a>. It would be a major change and these are the details of a possible transfer.



<h2>Bernando Silva could leave Manchester City for PSG</h2>



According to reports from L’Equipe and Le Parisien, Bernardo Silva might be ready to leave Manchester City and is very interested in playing for PSG. If Lionel Messi indeed leaves, this would become a priority for the French squad. 







Though Silva has been very successful under Pep Guardiola, the midfielder might have had enough of Manchester and wants to experience Paris as a whole. Not only with PSG, but also as a new chapter in his personal life.



It’s important to remember that Luis Campos, a very important consultant at PSG, signed Silva a few years ago with Monaco. Paris Saint-Germain will pay his release clause of $80 million. If Lionel Messi and Neymar are out, Bernardo will be one of the stars to replace them. 



This week, during an interview with France Football, he even defended Ligue 1. “People who criticize the level of Ligue 1 and that only PSG exist don’t know anything about soccer. It’s tougher to play in France than in England. It’s a more physical league. It was more complicated for me adapting to French soccer rather than England.”


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230514#BUS#1085"></div>


So, in the middle of the rumors, Bernardo Silva had only praise for his possible next destination. “Ligue 1 is a very competitive championship. Of course PSG, with the money they have, are going to win more than other teams, but, if you analyze Monaco, Lille, Lyon or Marseille, they’re good teams with talented young players.”

PSG have chosen the superstar to replace Lionel Messi

A key member of the 2016 European Championship-winning sid<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cristiano-ronaldo" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">e, Cristiano Ronaldo</a> has so far racked up an incredible 198 international caps for his country. His participation on the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/portugal" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Portugal national team</a> has been as significant as his extraordinary talents and accomplishments.



The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/ballon-dor-all-time-winners-20211128-0010.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">five-time Ballon d’Or winner</a> will still be a part of the Portuguese national squad, but Roberto Martinez will certainly also be looking to the future. When it comes to the 38-year-old’s domestic situation, he has also undergone some changes. The experienced striker has now moved to the Middle East to play for Al-Nassr in the Saudi Pro League. 



Considering his status as team captain and one of the best players of all time, Ronaldo’s friendships with his teammates are crucial to the team’s success on and off the field. Fans, however, are under the impression that the veteran superstar is not pleased with his Seleção colleague, Bernardo Silva.



<h2>What did Bernardo Silva say concerning Cristiano Ronaldo?</h2>



Following Bernardo Silva’s recent <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/2023-Ballon-dOr-What-does-Lionel-Messis-PSG-suspension-mean-for-Erling-Haaland-20230507-0020.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Ballon d’Or predictions</a>, many have speculated that Ronaldo has unfollowed the midfielder on Instagram. The 28-year-old midfielder ignored his international colleague when asked who he thought should win the coveted prize.



“If <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/erling-haaland" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">[Eriling] Haaland</a> wins the league and the Champions League, you can put him in the Ballon d’Or discussion, and you can also talk about <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/vinicius-junior" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Vinicius Jr</a>. If Madrid win the Champions League, but in general, it is between <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/2023-Ballon-dOr-What-does-Lionel-Messis-PSG-suspension-mean-for-Erling-Haaland-20230507-0020.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">[Lionel] Messi </a>and the winner of the champions, and so far, I will give it to Messi”, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/manchester-city" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Manchester City</a> midfielder recently told L’Equipe.

Compelling theory emerges over Cristiano Ronaldo's alleged unfollow of Bernardo Silva on Instagram

With the European soccer season reaching its crucial stages, we can already debate who were the best of the 2022-23 campaign. Now it’s safe to say which players might be in contention for the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/ballon-d%27or" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Ballon d’Or</a>, but it’s hard to tell who will win.



Of course, the likes of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lionel-messi">Lionel Messi</a>, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/erling-haaland">Erling Haaland</a>, and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/vinicius-junior">Vinicius Junior</a> should lead the race for the award given by France Football. And although the Argentine star made a strong case in the World Cup, the Norwegian striker and the Brazilian winger can still increase their chances.



Both the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/manchester-city">Manchester City</a> goal-scoring machine and the Real Madrid sensation are competing for the UEFA Champions League, which is always considered at the time of voting. Bernardo Silva revealed his favorite, but stressed that the season isn’t over yet.



<h2>Bernardo Silva says right now Messi should win Ballon d’Or, but the season hasn’t finished yet</h2>



“Until this moment, I would give it to Lionel Messi because he won the World Cup“, the Portuguese star told L’Equipe when asked about who should win this year’s Ballon d’Or. 



“Then, if Manchester City win the Champions League, you could say Haaland. If Real Madrid win, you could say Vinicius Jr., who had an incredible season. We’ll have to wait until the end of the season to know who won the Champions League, who won the different championships. For instance, if Haaland wins the Premier League and the Champions League, he could join the debate.”


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230507#CMS#0020"></div>


Silva has a fair point, because even if Messi is favorite due to his remarkable World Cup performance, Haaland and Vinicius can still make an impression before the end of the season. As he said, we’ll have to wait and see.

Where does Haaland, Mbappé, and Vinicius JR stack up on the CIES top 10 most valuable footballers in the world?

Messi, Haaland or Vinicius? Bernardo Silva weighs in on 2023 Ballon d'Or race, but there's a catch

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/real-madrid" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Real Madrid</a> look like a club tailored for the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/champions-league" target="_blank" rel="noopener">UEFA Champions League</a>. It’s hard to disagree with that, since they have an impressive <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/champions-league-winners-list-by-year-20220526-0035.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">14 titles</a> to show up for it. Manchester City, for instance, may have witnessed first-hand the aura that gives Los Blancosthe edge in this competition.
Last year, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/josep-guardiola" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Pep Guardiola</a>‘s men were just a few minutes away from knocking the Spanish giants out at the Santiago Bernabeu. But just like they did in the previous rounds, Madrid came from behind to claim an epic victory.
Bernardo Silva was there that day, but he claims that the badge had nothing to do with the final result. Instead, the Portuguese star believes the reason Carlo Ancelotti’s men win is because of the superstars who take the field.
<h2>Bernardo Silva claims Real Madrid’s “aura” is not a thing</h2>
“We have a lot of respect for Real Madrid but no fear. Why should we fear them? We have that objective (to eliminate Real Madrid) knowing we lost under difficult circumstances last year,” he said, via Madrid Xtra.
“It’s not about the badge. If Real Madrid didn’t have Luka Modrić, Toni Kroos, Vinicius or Karim Benzema they wouldn’t win anything, because the shirt doesn’t do it by itself.”
 
<div class="ck-related-news">

Silva has a point. After all, not every Real Madrid team could win the competition. However, it’s hard to say they don’t have something special when it comes to this tournament considering how many titles they’ve won and how they did it. Still, it makes sense that Silva, as an opponent, heads into this massive clash with the mindsetthat there are no external factors.

Manchester City’s roster is full of world-class talent in what seems to be the most complete team in the world. The acquisition of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/erling-haaland-man-city-salary-how-much-does-he-make-per-hour-day-week-month-and-year-20220614-0019.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Erling Haaland</a> added a lot of firepower on attack, but there is another player that is key for how the team works together. The pair that Pep Guardiola has on<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/kevin-de-bruyne-manchester-city-salary-per-hour-day-week-month-year-20221026-0040.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> Kevin De Bruyne </a>and Bernardo Silva gives the squad top playmakers capable of solving complicated games.
Silva began his career in Benfica before being transferred to Ligue 1’s Monaco. His participation there was so good that he attracted the Cityzens’ attention. He moved to his current team in 2017, gaining importance in the lineup year after year. The Portuguese star can play in many positions in the field, so he is also wanted by other rich clubs.
Last offseason he was close to leaving <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/messi-and-ronaldo-are-not-part-of-it-the-most-expensive-starting-xi-on-the-market-20210917-0009.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Manchester City</a> to go play for another famous club like <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/manchester-city-reason-to-deny-bernardo-silva-a-move-to-barcelona-this-summer-20220817-0034.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Barcelona</a>. Head coach Xavi Hernandez’s desire to have the midfielder on his side was what added extra interest, but Guardiola ultimately shut that down. Find out how much does this highly sought-after player make.
<h2>How much does Bernardo Silva make?</h2>
One reason that may have made him think about leaving was his sort of outdated salary compared to other European stars of his caliber. According to Spotrac, Silva signed a six-year contract in July of 2019 that expires after the 2024-2025 season. The amount that this 28-year-old star makes is 7.8 million pounds per year after that extension.
Silva then has a £650.000 monthly salary or £150.000 per weekin Manchester City. It remains to be seen if this will be his last season in the Premier League club after all the talks that took place a around August around his potential blockbuster sale. But for now, the £21.369 daily, £890 hourly or even £14.8 per minute is what he has to “settle” with.

According to Marca, Manchester City has not received an official offer from Barcelona for Bernardo Silva. The Citizens think that it wouldn’t be a smart move to release the Portuguese midfielder now as <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/how-pep-guardiola-could-help-xavi-land-one-of-manchester-city-stars-20220611-0008.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">it would be hard to find a suitable replacement within the next 15 days</a> until the transfer window closes.
Barcelona had some troubles to change things up with the team’s payroll and this could be the main reason why they dind’t make an offer for Bernardo Silva. Frenkie de Jong’s future is still uncertain as today, but it seems like the Dutch will stay at Catalunya after Manchester City’s denial.

Still De Jong has been one of many players on <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/xavi-identifies-replacement-for-frenkie-de-jong-in-cristiano-ronaldos-portugal-teammate-20220527-0014.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Xavi’s roster</a> that have been singled out as possible transfer chips.
De Jong did state that he wanted to commit to <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/offside/shakira-confirms-split-from-barcelona-stalwart-defender-gerard-pique-after-11-years-together-20220604-0006.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Barcelona</a> for the foreseeable future, but the financial situation at the club and their pressing need to improve other areas of the roster could have De Jong as the odd man out.

<h2>Barcelona interested in Bernardo Silva</h2>
The player in question that Barcelona has their eye on is 27-year-old Portuguese international Bernardo Silva. Silva played in 35 Premier League matches this season recording 8 goals and 4 assists. Silva was a starter at City for 87% of their lineups last season.
The former Monaco winger has a contract at the club until 2025 and given that Barcelona is in such a financial bind, De Jong would be a part of the negotiations to facilitate a move.

Well, it seems like this summer transfer window could have another blockbuster deal if <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/cristiano-ronaldo-t2" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Cristiano Ronaldo</a> ultimately decides to move away from <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/juventus-t12" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Juventus</a> and join <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/manchester-city-t74" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Manchester City</a>.
The Portuguese megastar is entering the final year of his contract with the Old Lady, but it seems like he wants to leave earlier. During his time at Juve, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/can-cristiano-ronaldo-join-messi-and-neymar-at-psg-20210814-0015.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Cristiano</a> has certainly impressed and continued performing at a top level.
But he may have grown tired of the team’s <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/teams-with-most-uefa-champions-league-titles-of-all-time-20201021-0001.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Champions League</a> failures and, at 36, he doesn’t want to lose any more time to get back to glory days. French outlet L’Equipe has reported the former <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/manchester-united-t10" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Manchester United</a> star is considering a move to the Citizens, who would have to offload players to afford his arrival.
<h2>Bernardo Silva</h2>

</div>
Ronaldo’s teammate in the Portugal national team, Bernardo Silva was cited by the French newspaper as one of the names who would be involved in a swap deal to make <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/report-cristiano-ronaldo-wants-out-of-juventus-3-possible-destinations-20210817-0008.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Cristiano</a>‘s signing possible.
The attacking midfield is undoubtedly one of the finest talents in <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/pep-guardiola-how-many-champions-league-titles-has-he-won-as-a-coach-manchester-city-barcelona-20210506-0021.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Pep Guardiola</a>‘s squad but he would be surrendered to make room for the Juventus figure. Manchester City are unwilling toafford Cristiano’s transfer fee, so swapping players could be their only way to complete the move.
<h2>Aymeric Laporte</h2>

</div>
The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/spain-t146274" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Spain</a> international hasn’t seen many first-team action last season, missing some of the games through injury and sitting on the bench in many others. However, he started in all <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/euro-2020-t174831" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Euro 2020</a> games.
The Sky Blues would have to give something in exchange for Cristiano, and they wouldn’d mind offering the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/serie-a-t47163" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Serie A</a> giantsAymeric Laporte, who was also mentioned by L’Equipe.

Report | Cristiano Ronaldo considering Man City move from Juventus: players involved in the deal

Report | Cristiano Ronaldo considering Man City move from Juventus: players involved in the deal - Bolavip US

It’s not a secret that FC <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/barcelona-t11" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Barcelona</a> have struggled to live up to the expectations over the past couple of years, and now that they’ve convinced <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/lionel-messi-t13" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Lionel Messi</a> to extend his stay at the club, they need to add more firepower to bringhome another UEFA <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/champions-league-t24" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Champions League.</a>
That’s why they secured the signings of Sergio Aguero and Eric García, but according to a report by Spanish outlet Mundo Deportivo, they’re far from done spending. If anything, they want to add even more former Citizens to their ranks.
The report states that Barcelona President Joan Laporta has turned his attention to 4 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/premier-league-t45" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Manchester City</a> players. And, with Pep Guardiola reportedly eyeing Ousmane Dembeléand/or Sergi Roberto, there could be a swap in the works right as we speak.

<h2>Report: Barcelona Interested In 4 Manchester City Players</h2>
<h2>4. Bernardo Silva</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image"> <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210618_BUS_172172_bernardo_silva_1.jpg_22993414_bd70fe91.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption> Bernardo Silva. (Getty) </figcaption></figure>
</div>
Even though he has been one of the most reliable players since joining the Manchester City, Bernardo Silva has been losing ground in Guardiola’s pecking order. He’s a perfect fit for the Cule’s schemeand could be a part of a swap for Ousmane Dembelé.
<h2>3. Aymeric Laporte</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image"> <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210618_BUS_172172_aymeric_laporte_1.jpg_22993414_d7f53f5d.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption> Aymeric Laporte. (Getty) </figcaption></figure>
</div>
Leftie center-back Aymeric Laportehas been linked with a move away from the team for some time now, and it seems like Real Madrid are also interested in his services. Barcelona are looking forward to reinforcing their final third of the roster with a top-notch player next to Samuel Umtiti.
<h2>2. Joao Cancelo</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image"> <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210618_BUS_172172_joao_cancelo_1.jpg_22993414_9876b07a.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption> Joao Cancelo. (Getty) </figcaption></figure>
</div>
Joao Cancelo has reportedly been on Barcelona’s radar for the past two or three seasons. His versatility and ability to play on both flanks are some of the mainreasons why Ronald Koeman has made him a priority, and he could be swapped for Sergi Roberto.
<h2>1. Riyad Mahrez</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image"> <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210618_BUS_172172_riyad_mahrez_1.jpg_22993414_bd1f4a95.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption> Riyad Mahrez. (Getty) </figcaption></figure>
</div>
The Blaugrana have kept tabs on Riyad Mahrez since he played for Leicester City. And even though he’s far from his best, he’s still a valuable piece that could make a huge impact coming off the bench. The Citizens want to sign Harry Kane and/or Jack Grealish, so he’d lose a lot of ground if that happens.
