Bruno Fernandes and Bernardo Silva showed a little drama during the FA Cup final at Wembley. The scores was 1-1 and there was no time for friendship between the Portuguese midfielders.

The Manchester derby FA Cup final had a side attraction between two Portuguese internationals playing on both sides.

Pep Guardiola’s men went straight to buisness after taking the lead in 12 seconds through their inspirational captain Ilkay Gundogan.

The Red Devils had a bad start to the game but were awarded a penalty out of nothing after the VAR spotted Jack Grealish’s handball inside of the box.

Bruno Fernandes then stepped up and sent the keeper the wrong way. City felt they were hard done by with a soft penalty awarded to their neighbours.

At half time, Fernandes and Bernardo Silva were seen talking to each other with the City midfielder showing no interest.

Fernandes then put his hand on Silva’s shoulder smiling and the City midfielder was not having any of the side talks as he shoved Bruno’s hands off.

He then jogged into the tunnel as Fernandes joined his teammate behind before the camera panned off both stars.

Gundogan grabbed the winner in the second half as United failed to respond and threw everything they have got in the last few minutes of the game.

City have now cemented their status as the dominant team in England and would become Europe’s best team if they beat Inter Milan in the Champions League final.
