Mourinho takes 'low level' swipe at Bernardo Silva after Real Madrid debut

Bernardo Silva made his first appearance for Real Madrid in Saturday's pre-season friendly against Ferencvaros, yet the Portugal international's debut was quickly overshadowed by a characteristically blunt response from Jose Mourinho.

According to Mirror Football, Mourinho took a 'low level' swipe at Silva in his post-match comments, delivering a ruthless verdict on the game after watching the forward's first outing in a Real Madrid shirt.

The remark adds another layer to the pair's long history of battles, having faced off regularly during their respective spells in the Premier League, where Mourinho's teams and Silva's Manchester City were frequent rivals.

Silva will be keen to focus on settling in at the Bernabeu as Real Madrid build towards the new season, while fans can catch up with the highlights of his debut on this site.
