"Oh, everybody wants to fire me, right?! Oh my god, guys! One day I will come here and say, 'bye bye, guys!' And still I'm here, one more year of contract. The future will be bright and next season we will be back."
"It is not a mistake, a red card, the first of his career, it is a reaction. It can be avoided. OK, say score a goal and play 11 against 11. Never ever will I blame my player for that. Madrid are an extraordinary team that punishes you when you make a mistake."
Manchester City lost 2-1 to Real Madrid in their Champions League quarterfinal, resulting in a 5-1 aggregate elimination and marking their third consecutive exit to the Spanish club. Bernardo Silva's red card for handling Vinícius Júnior's shot midway through the first half proved decisive, as Real Madrid converted the penalty and added another goal in stoppage time. Despite uncertainty surrounding his future at Manchester City, Pep Guardiola dismissed questions about whether this was his final Champions League match, stating he remains under contract and expressing confidence in the team's bright future. Guardiola acknowledged Silva's dismissal as a reaction rather than a mistake, noting that Madrid's ability to capitalize on errors proved the difference.
