Manchester City vs Real Madrid - LIVE!
Manchester City enjoyed their finest night under Pep Guardiola as they tore Real Madrid apart in a 4-0 win to reach the Champions League final.
The semi-final tie was perfectly balanced at 1-1 after the first leg at the Bernabeu, and the Etihad clash had been talked up, somewhat disrespectfully to Inter Milan, as effectively a final between the competition’s two favourites, with either fancied to get the better of the Serie A side on June 10. Real need not worry about flights to Istanbul though, as they were blown away by a sensational first-half performance from City. Bernardo Silva netted both, the first a left-footed strike and the second a looped header, as City ran the defending champions ragged.
The second-half was a more controlled affair, though a Real comeback never looked on the cards and the tie was put to bed once and for all when Eder Militao turned the ball into his own net, before Julian Alvarez netted in stoppage-time to cap a truly miserable night for the visitors as City’s treble bid overcame what had been billed as the most significant remaining obstacle.
