Bernardo Silva says Vinicius Junior was a nightmare to face

Real Madrid midfielder Bernardo Silva says he “suffered” when playing against team-mate Vinicius Junior.

The Brazilian started for Real Madrid in Wednesday’s Champions League match against RB Leipzig, which ended in a 4-1 victory for the Spanish club.

However, Vinicius Junior did not score or provide an assist and was substituted in the 70th minute.

Silva joined Real Madrid as a free agent last summer after spending nine years with Manchester City.

The Portugal international has now spoken about his team-mate, having previously experienced the challenge of facing Vinicius Junior as an opponent.
