Bernardo Silva has acknowledged that Manchester City’s chances of winning the Premier League title are no longer within their control following a goalless draw with Arsenal.
The highly anticipated match at the Etihad Stadium turned out to be uneventful, with both teams failing to score.
Despite dominating possession with 73% of the ball, City only managed one shot on target.
Nathan Ake missed a crucial opportunity, while Erling Haaland and Phil Foden were unable to make an impact. Pep Guardiola’s side faced a resilient Arsenal defense, which Bernardo believes has learned from previous encounters.
The draw leaves City in third place, trailing Arsenal by a point and Liverpool by three. Bernardo concedes that City’s hopes of securing a fourth consecutive Premier League title have been dealt a blow with back-to-back draws against their title rivals.
