'The routine, technique. It is a long time, you start thinking. It is a soft penalty.'<br/><br/>Ferdinand said it was a 'shame' that City fans had delayed the spot-kick. Silva was visibly frustrated as he waited to take his penalty he was seen gesticulating with his arms before running to retrieve the ball when it was eventually returned.<br/><br/>Guardiola said of his player taking the penalty: 'He said he wanted to take one and he is a reliable player. But what a game he had.'<br/><br/>Fans also reacted to the incident on social media. 'How must the Man City fan who kept hold of the ball before Bernardo Silva's penalty be feeling now,' one wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter.<br/><br/>'City fans not giving the ball back to Bernardo Silva will go down in history - if football fans did own goals,' another wrote.<br/><br/>A third added: 'City fans screwed themselves over holding onto the ball as long as they did before Bernardo Silva’s pen!'<br/><br/>Defeat by a stoic Real side ended Guardiola and City's double Treble dream, but they remain the favorites to win a fourth straight Premier League title and to lift the FA Cup for a second consecutive season.<br/><br/>The hosts fell behind 12 minutes in when Rodrygo scored from close range and, despite a dominant display, could not draw level until De Bruyne struck 14 minutes from time.<br/>")
