What an incredible hesitation! Look what a great chance Bernardo Silva blew

Tuesday’s Champions League matches brought not only unexpected upsets, but also a parade of beautiful goals or heart attack situations. One of them was Bernardo Silva, who failed to tap the ball into the empty net!

Another of Tuesday’s Champions League matches was PSG’s game against Manchester City. The hosts were already leading 1:0 from the eighth minute – Idrissa Gueye fought his way to the ball in the penalty area and uncompromisingly sent the ball into the net.

In the 27th minute the visitors could have equalised thanks to two men. Raheem Sterling first directed his header into the crossbar, but the subsequent finish into the empty net was so reprehensibly thrown away by Bernardo.

Jack Grealish also found himself in a huge opportunity a few minutes later, but he too was unable to beat Gianluigi Donnarumma. Ruben Dias had another serious chance late in the first half. However, his header towards the right post was saved by the Italian goalkeeper.

The English side failed to equalise in the first half and they couldn’t do it in the second either. On the contrary, Lionel Messi scored his first goal for PSG!

And it must be said, it was a beautiful individual action – Messi got free on the edge of the box and sent his shot into the net. In the 74th minute, the Citizens were already two goals down.

Riyad Mahrez tried to make the game even more dramatic in stoppage time, but his attempt just missed the top of the woodwork.

Obviously City are not happy with the result, and it is questionable how crucial this missed penalty will be in the rest of the group stage. For who knows how the match would have gone on with the score level.

Currently, Manchester City are only third in Group A. Ahead of them in second place is Club Brugge, with PSG in the lead. The next match awaits the Citizens on the hot Belgian soil on October 19.
