Haaland blocked the camera's view of Bernardo Silva and gestured to the operator (Image: X)Haaland gestured to the individual operating the camera before approaching him. The striker, whose goals led City to an epic treble last season, pushed the camera aside to ensure Silva was no longer in view.
Silva was visibly distraught after the game and Haaland wanted to take the attention away from his colleague in a touching gesture.
Guardiola refused to blame the Portugal international over his penalty and pointed out that he played well. He said of the 29-year-old: “Bernardo asked to take it, he’s a reliable player and decided to shoot in that way. What a game he had played. It happens.”
Asked about his side’s performance, in which they struggled to break down a resolute Los Blancos side, the Spaniard added: “I would have preferred to win, but congratulations to Real Madrid, they defended so deep with incredible solidarity, and we did everything.

They also remain in the FA Cup and will play Chelsea in the semi-final on Saturday.
