The match ended in a draw after Arsenal's Gabriel Martinelli scored in stoppage time, dealing a blow to Manchester City's title hopes.

Silva pointed out that Arsenal had a 50-hour head start to recover from their previous match against Athletic Bilbao, while Manchester City had only two and a half days to recover from their 2-0 win over Napoli.

According to Silva, this disparity in recovery time made it unfair for Manchester City to play at their best, and he emphasized the importance of having a fair recovery time for all teams in crucial matches.

Silva acknowledged that the team fought hard and showed resilience, but he felt that they were not at their best due to the scheduling.

The issue of scheduling has been a point of contention for players in recent years, with many arguing that it affects their physical condition and performance on the pitch.

Silva suggested that a bit of common sense and understanding of the situation would help to avoid similar issues in the future.
