After Man City's disappointing 2019-20 season came to an end with a 1-3 UCL quarter-final defeat against Lyon, Bernardo Silva has engaged himself in a social media war with Liverpool fans. The Man City attacker took another aim at the Reds faithful just 24 hours after calling them 'pathetic' on Twitter. Bernardo Silva was also among the few Man City players that refused to applaud Jurgen Klopp's side during their guard of honour at the Etihad Stadium in July after the Merseyside giants were crowned Premier League champions.

Silva's tweets about the Liverpool fans comes only a month after the Portuguese midfielder refused to applaud during their guard of honour at the Etihad Stadium. Clearly, the Kopites haven't forgotten about the incident.

Man City season elimination from UCL and season review
Although Man City were favourites to make it to the semi-finals of the Champions League, Pep Guardiola's side were humbled 1-3 by Lyon in their quarter-final. The Spanish boss came under criticism for not starting any of his creative attackers Riyad Mahrez, David Silva, Bernardo Silva or Phil Foden. Man City finished the Premier League season in 2nd place, 18 points behind champions Liverpool. The Citizens were eliminated by Arsenal in the FA Cup semi-final but managed to win the League Cup, which was the only silverware during the 2019-20 campaign.
