Having joked with a teammate, B. Silva received a strict punishment

"Manchester City" team forward Bernardo Silva may miss up to six matches due to the disqualification issued by the Football Association (FA).

After an impressive victory against the "Watford" team, Portugal, on his social media account, mocked his teammate Benjamin Mendy by comparing his childhood photo to the hero of the chocolate candy "Conguitos".

B. Mendy himself did not take offense to this teasing from his teammate, and simply replied, "1:0, you got me first, but we'll see."

However, FA did not overlook Silva's post and immediately started an investigation into the footballer's inappropriate behavior on social media.

It was revealed on Wednesday that FA decided to punish the "Man City" team player and by October 9th, he must provide his explanation.

"Sky Sports" reports that the footballer could face a six-match disqualification.

The Football Association are looking into this tweet posted by Bernardo Silva earlier today...
