The luso converted a doublet in the first part that directed the goleada of the ones of Pep Guardiola, sealing the 'bathroom' of the group 'sky blue' to the whites with two goals in which it showed what so many times has elogiado the Catalan technician: his intelligence to surpass to the rivals with technician and good game.

Bernardo could mark, even, of head

So much was the difference between the luso and the Frenchman that to Carlo Ancelotti did not remain him of another that ingresar to Antonio Rüdiger in the complement, moving to David Praises to the side and to Camavinga to the centre of the field to cover the exit of Luka Modric.

Previously, Bernardo had expanded the advantage in the minute 37, taking advantage of a rebound of Courtois after a finish hand manually of Gündogan. The balloon remained floating near of the point penalti and the luso, throwing of technician, cabeceó totally only planting the balloon near of the stick to avoid the intervention of a Praises that it had remained covering the arch in front of the desperate exit of the Belgian goalkeeper. The so much, practically, cleared the party, since it arrived just when the ones of Ancelotti seemed to react.

The Barça does not have to forget of Bernardo Silva

Although his price can be prohibitivo (80 million euros), the FC Barcelona does not have to descartar some movement by the luso in summer. Silva already manifested to the managerial 'sky blue' his intention to go out the past year and, if it achieves to win the Champions this year, the most likely is that it go back to try go out in the next window of passes. To his 28 years and with two remaining seasons of agreement, the Barça would try to offer to the drop, but hardly could ficharle by less than 60 'kilos'.
