Manchester City midfielder Bernardo Silva feels they can win the Champions League this season.

City are in the middle of a round 16 tie with Real Madrid - which they lead 2-1 on aggregate.

UEFA's decision to hold the latter stages of the Champions League in Portugal in August has given Bernardo a new incentive to finish strongly.

"Personally, it's an extra motivation," admits Bernardo, who started his career with Benfica before progressing his career with Monaco where he reached the CL semi-finals, knocking City out along the way.

"It is a special competition and it's going to be a unique event played in my home city. For me to fight for the title in the place I was born and grew up would mean a lot.

"It would be so, so special, even more because I missed the Euros four years ago when Portugal won the trophy and I was hoping to play in this summer's Euro 2020 before the pandemic."
