Bernardo Silva stars in El Clasico win after Mourinho's transfer push

Real Madrid signed Bernardo Silva on a free transfer at Jose Mourinho's insistence, and the midfielder starred in the team's 2-1 Clasico win over Barcelona.

• Real Madrid signed Silva on a free transfer this summer after his Manchester City contract expired, with a deal through 2028.
• Silva played a leading role in Real Madrid's 2-1 win over Barcelona at Camp Nou, his strongest display since joining.
• Mourinho told club officials in June: "We need a player like Bernardo Silva, we must sign him."
• Silva suspended negotiations with Barcelona and Atletico Madrid once Real Madrid showed interest.
