The ball - the Manchester City player who asked Mateos Nunes for his shirt (Sporting).

At the conclusion of the match between Sporting and Manchester City, which was held on Tuesday in Al Faladi, in anticipation of the first leg of the 16th round of the Champions League, which the Englishman won 5-0, while the players of both teams received each other. Last in the end, attention focused on the embrace between Mateos Nunes and Bernardo Silva, who was the best player on the field, scored two goals, and both exchanged a few words.

On this occasion, A BOLA knows, the left-back of the English champions, asked the sports midfielder for the shirt, but the request went unanswered for the simple reason that Matthews Nunes had already promised it to someone very special.

But the problem was quickly overcome, as the two agreed to change their shirts the next time they met in a call-up to the national team.

At that moment, the midfielder also realized that humility is a very powerful weapon, as Bernardo Silva was one of the most admired players by all those who love good football. An episode that did not go unnoticed after the Vallad match, which shows that after 90 minutes friendships and respect reign.

Mateus Nunes and Bernardo Silva were a good example of this.
