Bernardo Silva Criticizes Man City After FA Cup Loss

Bernardo Silva delivered a scathing critique of Manchester City's season after their 1-0 FA Cup final defeat to Crystal Palace, criticizing some teammates for lacking commitment in difficult moments and calling for changes to restore the club's high standards. He also condemned the VAR decision not to send off Palace goalkeeper Dean Henderson for handling the ball outside the area, calling it a 'big mistake' that affected the match. Silva praised Palace's organization and determination, acknowledging them as deserving winners.
