Bernardo Silva and Ilkay Gundogan spend their day off taking two glamorous WAGs to Milan for a double date.
Taking advantage of the days when coach Pep Guardiola gave him a break, the two stars of Man City took the time to lead their partner to Italy.
Gundogan was accompanied by his wife Sara Arfaoui while Silva was with his fiancée Ines Tomaz. They all visited Salumaio di Montenapoleone, the famous restaurant in Milan, Italy.
Gundogan wore a lovely blue sweater, while Silva opted for a black turtleneck sweater. Meanwhile, Gundogan’s wife Sara wears gray, and Ines wears black.
Sara shared a picture of two young couples having fun, laughing at a restaurant, and enjoying delicious food here.
She is probably happy to have dinner away from Manchester because she claimed that there are no good restaurants in the city. She is also pregnant with Gundogan.
Coach Guardiola urged his players to “forget about football” during their rare break.
Manchester City is without a game midweek after a 4-1 win over Liverpool. Therefore, coach Pep Guardiola made an important decision for his students.
With the majority of City’s squad on international duty in March ahead of their win over Liverpool at the Etihad, Guardiola decided to give his players a chance to relax and recuperate ahead of their trip to Southampton. Sharing in front of the media, the Spanish leader said:
“Most of the players need rest. I went on holiday during the national team’s gathering in my homeland in Catalonia but the players still have to play two games and stay in a hotel.”
“They can clear their minds, once we move on we will have a lot of games this month. Man City will have three days to prepare for Southampton, then Bayern Munich, Leicester. , Bayern Munich, Sheffield United, and Arsenal”.
This could be the last break before the season ends. Man City currently has a chance to win the Premier League and is competing for the FA Cup and Champions League titles.
Man City welcomes great news and confidently welcomes Bayern Munich
After beating Liverpool 4-1 in round 29 of the Premier League, Man City will face Southampton in the next round. 3 points are within reach for Pep Guardiola’s teachers and students when the opponent is ranked last. What makes the blue half of Manchester most interested at this time is the quarter-final first leg against Bayern Munich in the Champions League.
Despite being played at home, that competition certainly brings many challenges to the reigning English football champion.
Most recently, Man City has just received great good news. Accordingly, the main striker Erling Haaland was able to return to training today (April 5). Appearing in front of the media lens, the Norwegian striker clearly shows his comfort in his movements along with a constant smile on his lips.
It is proof that the groin injury he suffered has completely recovered. Therefore, the 22-year-old star is fully capable of re-appearing when Man City confronts Southampton before joining the team toward the great battle of Bayern Munich on the continental playground.
Haaland’s return is clearly what Pep Guardiola along with the leadership and The Citizens fans are waiting for because the Norwegian striker has shown unbelievable performance since the beginning of the season.
After 37 appearances in all competitions, the 22-year-old player contributed 42 goals and 5 assists to the team. Most recently, when facing a representative of Germany in the Champions League, RB Leipzig, Haaland scored 5/7 goals for his team.
Therefore, he is of course the main hope of the Etihad Stadium team in the encounter with Bayern.
In the match on April 1 against Liverpool, Haaland was absent while not recovering from injury. Despite the absence of a key star, Man City’s attack still had a jubilant match to win a convincing 4-1 victory at home.
