Man City in ‘dark place’ after rout by Sporting – Bernardo Silva

Manchester City suffered a shocking 4-1 defeat against Sporting CP in the Champions League, leaving captain Bernardo Silva feeling like they are in a “dark place.” The loss marked their third consecutive defeat in all competitions for the first time since 2018. Silva expressed disappointment and the need for the team to reflect on their performance and improve quickly. Despite injuries, City is not in crisis but has had a humbling week after being knocked out of the League Cup and losing their unbeaten run in the Premier League. Silva highlighted the need for injured players to return and for the team to do better as they face Brighton and Hove Albion next in the Premier League.
