Bernardo driven by 2016 heartache
BERNARDO SILVA is using his 2016 heartache to fuel his desire to drive Portugal to European Championship glory.
Manchester City star Silva, when at Monaco, was cruelly ruled out of Euro 2016 on the eve of the tournament and forced to watch on as Portugal beat France in the Paris final.
Eight years on, the two countries come face to face again in tonight's quarter-final in Hamburg, and Silva is determined to make up for lost time. "It was very sad. I got injured in the last training session.
"I tore my hamstring and I missed the Euros, said Silva. "It was a very sad moment because it was going to be my first competition.
"So of course I'm motivated. This was the biggest title in the history of Portuguese football, and now this is an amazing chance to be one step closer to our main goal which is to bring the cup back home.
