Manchester City brush aside Real Madrid to advance to the Champions League final for the second time under Pep Guardiola.
Manchester City were utterly dominant from start to finish as they beat Real Madrid 4-0 in a one-sided encounter.
The Etihad hosted the second-leg of the Champions League semi-final clash after a 1-1 draw in Spain. The home crowd in Manchester rose to the occasion, spurring their team to victory.
How it happened
Pep Guardiola promised a more fluid set-up from his team coming into this game after both teams could barely be separated in terms of performance and scoreline in the first-leg, and that was what his team offered.

The Cityzens piled the pressure early on, and the visitors needed the brilliance of Thibaut Courtois to keep the game level; however, the hosts will not be denied for too long, with Bernardo Silva giving them a 23rd-minute lead after De Bruyne played him through on goal.
