It was a really tough game for Real Madrid tonight, I guess Pep Guardiola was right when he mentioned that the second leg at the Ethihad would decide the outcome of the draw and they just proved how good they can be at the Ethihad stadium. This season Manchester City have been the best team and they well deserved this to win the champions league as well as the English premier league.

It must be winning against intermilan first. If we are talking about the striker and yeah intermilan is also having striker that has good physic like lukaku. This gonna be the battle between two best team in UCL as intermilan and manchester city were able reaching the final.
There will be no first and second leg. It's all about win or lose. Will manchester city repeats the same result as when it was facing chelsea in the final? Underestimating another club is not good.

Especially when we didn't know how strong another team is. Since intermilan never faces manchester city before. The final will be happening in istanbul. It will be so good to see the intermilan when it's still on fire right now.
It's gonna be another great game.

The first two goals in the first half must have hurt Real Madrid, but not as much as their own goal in the second half. The luck was not only with Real Madrid, as Pep made the required steps to remove Real Madrid from the tournament, which he did. Real Madrid had been an impediment to him winning the Champions League, but now he has the chance to show off his expertise in the final game.

however, this is a really surprising result for me. it is very possible indeed for Man City to win. but I don't think Madrid will have much trouble getting a goal at home to Man City.
Pep really does everything very well. a strategy that keeps Madrid from moving much. even with Madrid's best squad, they don't have many chances.

4-0 is a big win for Mancheter City and it is difficult for Real Mandrid to turn things around even though turning things around is identical to Real Madrid, but as we can see, Manchester City is really a very good team and also scary for opponents.

From the first goal scored by Bernardo, I know Manchester City will succeed in these matches because everything was difficult for Real Madrid they didn't even know where to play ball Manchester City play Madrid well I said earlier that I'm expecting Manchester City to win these games due to there performance in the season, congratulations to the team and us that there supporter we are going to face Inter which I believe we will give more than we gave Madrid because I'm sure city have more chance of winning inter than real Madrid.

However, that is the spirit of the game, and I appreciate KDB for giving Bernardo an assist to win that first game. I'm super excited to see Manchester City qualify for the final. And honestly, I was surprised that Manchester City outscored Real Madrid with 4 goals even though I expected them to win because they all had successful seasons all this time and they have been a strong team.

The game has been brought to an end with 4-0 goal line in favour of the home team. But 5 - 1 aggregate is quite too much gmfor a champion league giant team like real Madrid.im not even worried about the lose, I'm more worried about the goals they conceded in this stage. but I wouldn't have blamed Carlo Anceloti completely for the lose if he had started Rudiger cuz I know he came with a game plan which he felt was rightful for the game. He only met a counter plan from Guardiola boys who's performance was quite brilliant and resilient through out the process. I only have problem with the decision of placing Rudiger on the bench

Same thing applicable there, I don't much care about Real Madrid lost the game but I was really surprised by the goals they conceded, that is much for Manchester city to clarify that their are the best team currently in the world. I never thought this can happen despite I believe that anything can happen in football. Four goals conceded by Real Madrid in semi final is a bad record for the defending champion.seriouly I was really impressed with Manchester city performance, they really played brilliantly and that why they won the game easily.

mistakes are what normally bring opportunity to opponent, without mistakes I think they will never be the winner in a game.Anceloti may have reason of benching Rudiger despite it good performance in first leg. Managers do always come with differently tactics or informations that may sweet game to give them winnings, may Anceloti think the replacement of Rudiger may workout perfectly that may be the reason why it use militao, just remember that was mistake Guardiola made their last season champions league semi final against Real Madrid when he substituted Kevin debruyne that Real Madrid defeated them in die minute so even Guardiola thought it may he done perfect thing when he removed debruyne from pitch.

Manchester City had an amazing performance and for the first time in history they are going to play in the final match of the champions league, also the team they are going to face, Inter Milan is not so hard for them beat and it seems like Manchester City is going to win the champions league title at the end of this season.

Real Madrid was just terrible today, there over confidence caught up with them. I guess they believed once they came this close to the UCL finals, it almost feels pre-determimed that the trophy is won in there favour already, even i believed it but, Manchester City meant business this time. The first goal from B. Silva was such a thunder, there was nothing the goalkeeper could have done to keep it out. In a while, B. Silva came up again with a free header and it didn't end there, more goals kept pouring in and even J. Alvarez got his share. 4 goals on aggregate, that was a shameful exit for the supposedly champions.

City - Inter in the finals and frankly I don't see Inter standing a chance but hey , I've said that back when they played against Barca and we all know that Inter managed to win it.

In this scenario, the match is far from that. Before this semifinal game, we all know that the side that qualifies between Real Madrid and Manchester City will be the ones to win the Champions League this season. Inter Milan, in my opinion, has little chance of beating Manchester City, so it will be a simple game and a smooth win for Manchester City.

The goal margin suprised everyone today, Real Madrid made a mistake by conceding that amount of goals, no one expect that any of the club will be able to score 4 goals in the match :)since the two clubs are strong clubs, but Real Madrid made everything easy for Manchester City and they scored four goals, if not for Courtois, they will have conceded more than 4 goals.

The first two goals in the first half must have hurt Real Madrid, but not as much as their own goal in the second half. The luck was not only with Real Madrid, as Pep made the required steps to remove Real Madrid from the tournament, which he did.

real madrid 0 - 4 Manchester city

this is a game in which up to a certain point the result was already predictable for me, at least in that regard i didn't expect any surprises, and as expected manchester city won the game very easily and the reason why i didn't there was no doubt that manchester city would win this game easily and because in the first leg city was clearly saving due to the premier league games because they were still undecided whether arsenal would stumble and fall and with that city would guarantee the conquest of the premier league so city needed to focus on premier league games and the city coach had already talked about it, and when I watched the first leg game I realized that city was only defending to spare the players

since city won and arsenal lost points then city could already play seriously against real madrid that has serious problems in the defense, it was clear the big difference in quality of squad of city in relation to real madrid, manchester city since the goalkeeper to the player who just sits on the bench are good players, in the attack city has many good players, while real madrid in the attack only has benzema, some people are exaggerating putting vinicios on a level that is not, in this game city only had to close the benzema that all of real madrid's attack was at zero, without any effectiveness and danger, I hope that real madrid manages to bring mbappe and more players to the attack if they want to win the next league and champions league season

Manchester City had an amazing performance and for the first time in history they are going to play in the final match of the champions league, also the team they are going to face, Inter Milan is not so hard for them beat and it seems like Manchester City is going to win the champions league title at the end of this season.

The 4 goals won by Manchester City against Real weren't what Real Madrid bargained for and it was not what so many football lovers predicted. I expected a win from Manchester City but not to unleash a 4 goals defeat just like that.

At the start of the first half, Real Madrid devised a strategy to play a defensive game, forgetting that Manchester City cannot be held at Etihad Stadium without them breaching your defense by scoring goals.

Manchester City dominated the game from start to finish. Real Madrid players weren't given much room to carry out Carlo Anceloti's goal-scoring strategy. It's cruel of Manchester City to not feel sorry for the former holders of the championships league by defeating them by 4 good goals without them scoring one(lols)

The likes of Modric, Kross and Benzema are aging they can't keep with the pace of the game thus lack sharpness it was evident in today's match, Man City capitalized on that and took total control of the midfield as well as kept most of the possessions consequently were well rewarded with 4 goals, Real Madrid tactic was to launch counterattack through pacy Vinicius Jr unfortunately that tactic couldn't work, I think this the end of era of some old Real Madrid players I hope Ancelloti start rebuilding a new set of stars for the team, congratulations to Man City for reaching yet another UCL champion league final I hope they win it this time around.

Just last week when Madrid held City to a 1-1 draw Modric, Kross, and Benzema were called experienced and strong players that were masters of the champions league. One week after they are now old and weak. The truth is that these players are still fit and strong. Modric has been offered a new contract and Benzema will remain as much as he wants to stay because the club still needs their experience.

Although football fans will always find loopholes in the selections and formations of coaches, Carlo Ancelotti made some mistakes. You cannot face an attacking club like City with a weak defensive midfield and defenders. City overwhelmed the midfield making the defender and Thibaut Courtois suffer. Some players like Rudiger deserved to start the game. Real Madrid has tried their best in the competition even without signing many players, they still made it to the semifinals. Congratulation to City and hope Pep will make history in the club.

Ah, I hadn't followed the matches, so in the end Inter managed to reach the final. Honestly, I thought it would be Milan who would reach the goal, and I bet on it. In the end, the team I hate the most won, now based on who wins between
- Real Madrid
- Manchester City
I know who I have to support against Inter

Such a big goal margin, I didn't expect it to be like that. But indeed in the game Real Madrid lost miserably. Even Real Madrid could only do a little pasing in the first fifteen minutes. All sides of Real Madrid players look bad, their midfield is outclassed. Madrid's defenders failed to perform solidly, they were very easy to penetrate. I think the best player is only Thibaut Curtois, there are at least three crucial saves that should be goals for Man City. In strength, of course Man City is better than Inter. I feel confident Man City can become UCL champions this season.

The cheater club has become better than others, what a surprise. And City was finally able to beat Real (buying Haaland and Guardiola had nothing to do with it). A sad result and I don't think Inter can win, so City will take the long-awaited cup. But still, I console myself with the fact that clubs like City and PSG, even with one Champions League Cup for two, will be extremely unsuccessful compared to other truly great clubs.

What do you mean truly great clubs?
So the owners of clubs determine a truly great club or not? This is so funny?
What is the difference between the owners of Manchester United and Manchester City?
Manchester City is a club that have invested heavily on their club, they have taken their time build their team so they can get to the level they are today.
Don't try to undermine their hard work. They may not have the history of Real Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern Munich, but they are most certainly creating their own history now.

But actually Man City's victory by scoring 4 goals in this match was completely unexpected. I also thought Man City would win but I didn't imagine with such a big score. but apart from all that I congratulate Manchester City for successfully qualifying for the Final. And this is their dream for a long time. just one step away for Man City to lift the UCL trophy for the first time for them.

Yes, I definitely didn’t expect Manchester City to win by a margin of 4 goals. I envisaged a win but not with a margin like that. I believed in Pep and his boys. I knew mistakes made in the first leg would have been corrected and better tactics had been used in the second leg. The way they had played was top class. In simple terms, they simply outplayed their opponents.
Congratulations to Manchester City on reaching the final stage in the Champions League. The cup is almost within reach but I can see it in their hands already.

I think am the only thinking about this, let's be honest I don't think inter Milan has any chances of winning Manchester city in the final, it will be kind of difficult for inter Milan, if we all compare the way they are both playing, then we will know that the match might be a easy win for Manchester city, but let's just see what will happen, inter Milan shouldn't be underestimated, they might end up surprising everyone by winning the league, but am still having confidence that Manchester City will win.

Before now I have always predicted the game will end up this way, this is because I carefully watch Real Madrid performance and it not convincing yo beat Manchester City in Champions league. Before now I do compare Manchester City and Real Madrid performance in their games, Manchester City performs better and win without any difficulties but Real Madrid have always struggled to win their match. I'm not surprised about the outcome of the game, result like this is not new to Manchester city this season. Their results in their games are always massive. Real Madrid this season are not in their normal standard like the way they used to be in previous time..

Manchester City deserved to win that game against Real Madrid. They played better at least from the periods I followed. The goals were correct including the third one where there was a player from City in an offside position but he didn't participate in the attack and it was Real Madrid defensive mistake.
City have money to buy whatever they want, well that was the case with Barcelona and Real Madrid to pick the best players in the world and pay higher wages. Barcelona at some points where having financial issues and they continue to have BTW.
In my opinion it will be good to see City getting that long awaited star before PSG Wink

dont be greedy

Ancelotti's journey in the Champions League this season has come to an end at the hands of Pep Guardiola. Losing with a 1-5 aggregate is truly heart-wrenching.

Courtois deserves appreciation for his impressive performance in guarding Madrid's goal. Haaland could have easily scored through his headers, and perhaps a 6-0 scoreline could have happened if Courtois hadn't been as exceptional. As for Modric, he seemed to have lost his stage to play ball. Usually, Modric plays with great impressiveness, but this time, the lack of support from his teammates prevented him from reaching his full potential.

Courtois deserves a solid 8/10 rating, while Modric's performance against Man City a few hours ago warrants a modest 4/10 rating.

Madrid really lost badly and each of their lines in this match did not move at all. The defense has lots of gaps, their midfield is also not very good because it is covered by Manchester City players which indirectly affects the quality of their attack.

Nothing more to add on City performance because they really did an outstanding game! What is next for Real ? is my really concern as I don't see any solid project in the next 2 years and I doubt Mbappe will join anytime soon or at all because this team that Real currently have , just got a football lesson that they won't forget it...like never.

Manchester City was so good in everything tonight and shoutout to Guardiola that did a great work in his tactics against Real Madrid that feels playing without a coach honestly it’s a shame for Ancelotti in my humble opinion and my small knowledge in football. Losing 2-0 in first half and having absolutely 0 chance scoring except for the Kroos wonderful shot which was a total individual work, Ancelotti decided to play with the same tactic and lineup.
Real Madrid team has many names and players with much choices and the coach decided to risk playing with the very same old names that we all know are so tired to provide in such matches. Let’s take for example Carvajal he couldn’t only defend well but he always helped Manchester City in many occasions to recover the ball. Real Madrid at this point needs a new coach.
