Manchester City Outplay Real Madrid to Reach Champions League Final
Historic Night at the Etihad as City Thrash Spanish Giants 4-0
Citizens Dominant from Start to Finish
Manchester, England - May 17, 2023 - Manchester City produced a stunning display to overcome Real Madrid 4-0 at the Etihad Stadium and book their place in the final of the Champions League. Pep Guardiola's side, who had lost the first leg in Madrid 3-1, were dominant from the outset and took the lead through Riyad Mahrez's cool finish just after the half-hour mark. Bernardo Silva doubled City's advantage before the break, before Phil Foden and Jack Grealish completed the rout in the second half. The victory was City's biggest ever against Real Madrid and secured their place in the final for the second time in three years. They will now face either AC Milan or Bayern Munich in Istanbul on June 10. "I am so proud of my players," said Guardiola after the match. "They played with great heart and determination. We knew it would be difficult, but we never doubted ourselves." "We played with great intensity and we created many chances," added Mahrez. "We could have scored more goals, but we are happy to win 4-0." Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti admitted that his team had been outplayed. "Manchester City were the better team tonight," said Ancelotti. "They were more intense and they created more chances." "We will learn from this and we will come back stronger next season."
