Porto wrongly state Bernardo Silva was ‘convicted of racism’Fans of Portuguese club racially abused Mario Balotelli in 2012Manchester City have dismissed “ill-judged criticism” from Porto after the Portuguese club took aim at Fernandinho,
Pep Guardiola and Bernardo Silva, who was incorrectly described as having been “convicted of racism”.
Porto’s move came after City drew 0-0 at the Estádio do Dragão in the
Champions League on Tuesday and is the latest flare-up involving the clubs. In an official newsletter Porto referred to Silva, a Portugal international, as “an opponent of ours who is known internationally for having been convicted of racism”.
