Bernardo Silva: 'Arsenal Had Unfair Advantage Against Manchester City'
Bernardo Silva said Manchester City's 2.5-day recovery after a Champions League match was unfair compared to Arsenal's five days, affecting their performance in a key Premier League fixture.
- Manchester City captain Bernardo Silva criticized the scheduling of their Premier League match against Arsenal on September 22, 2025, at the Emirates Stadium.
- Silva argued that City had only two and a half days to recover after their Thursday Champions League game, while Arsenal enjoyed five days, creating an unfair rest disparity.
- He emphasized that such scheduling disadvantages affect player performance in important matches and urged for common sense and respect from football’s governing bodies.
- The match ended 1-1 with Erling Haaland scoring early for City and Gabriel Martinelli equalizing in the 93rd minute, frustrating City further given their claimed physical disadvantage.
- Silva’s complaints highlight ongoing fixture congestion amplified by new competitions and suggest that current scheduling practices may undermine fairness and player welfare in key league games.
