Watch: Silva scores stunner as City run wild in 1st half against Sporting

Manchester City came out of the gates flying to take an early 4-0 lead in the first leg of their round of 16 meeting with Sporting CP.

Of the four goals that City scored in the first half, Bernardo Silva’s strike was unmatched in terms of world-class quality and technique. After a failed clearance attempt went high into the air, the Portuguese star lined himself up perfectly inside the box and drove an unstoppable half-volley onto the underside of the crossbar to double City’s lead at the time.

Buccaneers offseason preview: What's next now that Tom Brady has retired?

TAMPA, Fla. — Life after quarterback Tom Brady: That’s what the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are trying to figure out this offseason.

Sign or trade for a marquee free-agent quarterback, and the window to contend stays open. But if they come up empty and are forced to turn to Blaine Gabbert, who hasn’t started a game since 2018, or Kyle Trask, who was their fourth quarterback on the depth chart last season, it will be a rebuild, even if general manager Jason Licht and coach Bruce Arians won’t be calling it that — preferring to instead use the term “reload.”

Even before they attempt to reassemble their roster, their daunting list of opponents outside their division will make for an uphill battle: They face the Cincinnati Bengals, Los Angeles Rams, San Francisco 49ers, Green Bay Packers, Kansas City Chiefs, Arizona Cardinals, Pittsburgh Steelers and Dallas Cowboys.
