Portugal are considered strong candidates for the EURO 2024 championship. However, they had to struggle to defeat the Czech Republic in the opening match of Group F.

Although all attention is focused on how Cristiano Ronaldo plays. However, even though CR7 did not score, he still left many traces. Instead, Man City star Bernardo Silva is the most disappointing.

Bernardo Silva played poorly in Portugal’s hard-fought win over the Czech Republic

Silva has been considered one of the best players in the world since moving from Monaco to Man City in 2017. But he has often struggled to make the same impact on the international stage.

Fans took to social media to criticize the 29-year-old’s performance. One person wrote: “First Foden, then De Bruyne and now Bernardo Silva, all Man City players are invisible when away from Pep’s system.”

Another fan commented: “Bernardo Silva is basically the Phil Foden of Portugal, never doing well for his national team.”

Another added: “Bernardo Silva adds himself to the growing list of Man City players who cannot make the same mark in the club’s shirt at this year’s EURO.”

A fourth person commented: “No football fan wants to see Bernardo Silva starting instead of Pedro Neto. This guy plays like Iniesta at 40 years old in Japan.”

Previously, both Foden and De Bruyne did not leave much of an impression in the opening match of EURO 2024 even though they were both starters. Foden “disappeared” on the day England struggled to defeat Serbia with a score of 1-0. Meanwhile, De Bruyne faded as Belgium shockingly lost to Slovakia.
