From the source

There was a time a few weeks ago when Real Madrid fans were practically begging José Mourinho to start Bernardo Silva more often. There were lots of consecutive games where he did not start, and there were even more games where he was brought on too late or not brought on at all.

It made no sense, given the number of things he solves in the buildup for the team, as well as the quality that he has and the way he complements some of Real Madrid's midfielders.

However, José Mourinho's move to start Silva in the Clásico looks to have completely changed the script for the Portuguese midfielder. He has since started all of Real Madrid's games and looks much more involved than he did before.
