Body language expert Darren Stanton analyzed Bernardo Silva’s reaction to his missed penalty against Real Madrid in the Champions League quarter-final. Silva appeared stressed and lacked focus, with his tongue sticking out in a pacifying gesture, indicating a crisis of confidence.
Manchester City was knocked out of the Champions League after a 1-1 draw in normal time followed by a stalemate in extra time, with Real Madrid ultimately emerging victorious in the penalty shoot-out. Silva was among those who missed their spot-kicks, highlighting the pressure and stress on the players during the crucial moment.
Stanton explained that Silva’s body language showed signs of a “meltdown” and lack of confidence in his abilities. Despite the disappointment in the Champions League, Manchester City still have a chance to achieve a domestic double with the Premier League and FA Cup still within reach, with a crucial semi-final match against Chelsea and a top-flight title battle with Arsenal and Liverpool remaining.
