Monaco did not tremble - Silva hails Champions League win

Monaco refused to crumble in the face of Manchester City's second-half resurgence, playmaker Bernardo Silva said.

Bernardo Silva hailed Monaco's brave performance after they overturned a two-goal deficit and knocked Manchester City out of the Champions League following a 3-1 home win on Wednesday.

Monaco trailed 5-3 following the first leg in Manchester but the Ligue 1 leaders rallied to progress to the quarter-finals on away goals after the last-16 tie finished 6-6 on aggregate.

Silva set up teenage sensation Kylian Mbappe in the eighth minute to get the hosts off to a flying start, before Fabinho slotted home to level the scores on aggregate.
