UMVA has gathered that Manchester City midfielder Bernardo Silva is expressing frustration over his team's missed opportunities in the Premier League title race.
With Arsenal sitting two points clear of City with two games remaining, Silva believes that his team would have beaten their north London rivals to the title if they were not in a 'transitional season'. This season has been marked by inconsistency, and Silva feels that it's been a major factor in City's inability to secure the championship.
Silva also pointed to the lack of consistency from officials at set-pieces, citing the decision to rule out West Ham's goal against Arsenal last weekend as an example. He echoed the criticism from Brighton head coach Fabian Hurzeler regarding time-wasting at set-pieces this season, stating that it's 'a bit of a shame' to see teams taking excessive time to complete throw-ins, free kicks, and corners.
Despite the setbacks, Silva remains optimistic about City's chances and believes that they would have won the league if they had made fewer mistakes. He praised Arsenal's growth and noted that they have been together as a team for five years, which has given them an advantage in terms of cohesion and experience.
With the final day of the season approaching, City will have to regroup and refocus if they want to close the gap between them and Arsenal. Silva's comments serve as a reminder of the fine margins that separate the top teams in the Premier League, and the importance of making the most of every opportunity to succeed.
Silva will be looking to make a statement in City's upcoming games, particularly against Bournemouth next Tuesday. With their FA Cup final against Chelsea just three days prior, City will need to be at the top of their game to overcome the challenge ahead.
The Premier League title will be decided in the final weeks of the season, and the tension is building. With Silva's comments adding fuel to the fire, one thing is certain – the final stretch will be a thrilling spectacle for fans of both City and Arsenal.
