Bernardo Silva Scores Twice As City Reach Champions League

Manchester City booked their place in the semi-finals of the Champions League after a stunning 4-0 victory over Real Madrid at the Etihad Stadium on Tuesday night. Portuguese midfielder Bernardo Silva was the hero for City, scoring two goals in a devastating first-half display.

After a goalless first leg in Madrid, City took the lead in the 11th minute through Phil Foden. Silva then doubled the lead with a fine solo effort in the 21st minute, before adding a third just before half-time with a header from a Kevin De Bruyne cross.

City continued to dominate in the second half, with Riyad Mahrez adding a fourth goal in the 69th minute. The win was a comprehensive victory for City, who were simply too strong for Real Madrid on the night.

The result means that City have now reached the semi-finals of the Champions League for the second time in three years. They will face Chelsea in the semi-finals, with the first leg taking place at Stamford Bridge on April 27.
