Fans react as war of words escalates between Bernardo Silva & Liverpool fans

Bernardo Silva has branded Liverpool fans, who targeted him on social media following Manchester City‘s Champions League exit “pathetic”.

It was a sad Saturday and a painful weekend for all Citizens as City suffered quarter-final anguish for a third successive year as they went down 3-1 to unfancied Lyon in Lisbon on Saturday.

The shock result prompted some Liverpool fans to target Silva on social media who did not clap for Red when they were given a guard of honour after securing the 2019-20 Premier League title.

The Portugal midfielder dejected just like all City players and fans hit back at the Liverpool supporters. He sent a tweet stating he is sorry for Red army but for the wrong reasons branding them to be “pathetic”.

“To all Liverpool fans that have nothing else to do than to come to a Man City player account, I’m also sorry for you but for the wrong reasons — pathetic,” Silva posted on Twitter. “Go celebrate your titles or try to find a partner, drink a beer with a friend, read a book. So many options!”

And to all Liverpool fans that have nothing else to do than to come to a Man City player account, I’m also sorry for you but for the wrong reasons…😂 pathetic… go celebrate your titles, or try to find a partner, drink a beer with a friend, read a book…🤦🏻‍♂️ so many options!😅

In reaction to Silva’s tweet, many City fans have reacted positive throwing their support behind the Portuguese.

Typical Livarpool fans mate that’s why ALL football fans can’t stand them remember it’s never their fault. Keep your head up Bernardo 👍

Imagine Liverpool fans being obsessed with City & still claim City aren’t their rivals. For Bernardo to notice their desperation means something is really wrong with the Liverpool fan base. Totally desperate for attention & specifically for City’s attention. You love to see it

You sang about our fans being beaten, you refused to respect the guard of honour and you’ve been cocky on social media from day 1. Don’t talk the talk if you can’t walk the walk. Cry more 👍🏼
