The Blues have struggled in the Premier League in recent weeks - winning one, drawing four and losing one of our last six domestic fixtures.
The squad are now in Saudi Arabia for the FIFA Club World Cup, knowing victory in Tuesday’s semi-final with Urawa Red Diamonds will give us a tilt at a fifth trophy in 2023 in Friday’s final.
On our recent results, Bernardo believes City have played to a high standard without seeing games through to the end.

“I wouldn’t say it is a bad, bad moment,” he stated in Monday’s media briefing in Jeddah.
“It’s a moment where in some games we felt frustrated because we conceded last minute goals that cost us points.
“But the way we have played in my opinion has been very, very good.
“If you look at how many times they shoot on our goal and we shoot on their goal, the way we play is the same - but we have to be more efficient and better in both boxes.
“Apart from the Aston Villa game where they were much better than us, I don’t think we were worse and it is just my opinion but I think we deserve to win those games.
“We need to be focused on little details and make it count because it is not enough what we have been doing.”
