I expected it. Perhaps not a 4-0, but a game of serious dominance and no real chance for Real Madrid. Manchester City played that game in such a cool and calm manner, I never thought it could go a different way this time. Manchester City was prepared perfectly and when they play at home, it is almost impossible to beat them there. In the Premier League they won 16 out of 18 games. Now they had the perfect read about what Real Madrid will do in this game. But I am happy with the result as the right team found their way into the final. Manchester City deserved it and it is now time for them to win the trophy.
While Real Madrid still has to fall behind due to a lack of player spending and a lack of regeneration on several fronts, they shouldn't always rely on senior players who are getting old. I hope that Real Madrid can return to their top form next season, so that the competition between strong European teams will be even more exciting to watch.
