Manchester City advanced to the Champions League final with a 5-1 overall victory after thrashing Real Madrid 4-0 in the second leg of its semifinal match. Pep Guardiola's team thrashed the reigning champions with two goals from Bernardo Silva in the opening period. After the break, Carlo Ancelotti's team made an effort to come back, but Eder Militao's own goal as well as Julian Alvarez's stoppage-time goal only served to highlight the gap in skill.
Real Madrid was no match for City's incredible streak, which has seen them win their past 15 games at the Etihad Stadium and go 23 games without a loss. The Champions League final between Manchester City and Inter Milan will take place on June 10 in Istanbul.
Pep Guardiola’s statement after the UCL semi-final second leg against Real Madrid
Pep Guardiaola spoke to the media after the game and discussed the three major titles on line for Manchester City this season. He said,
“We’re closer. Let me win the first two! In the Premier League, we are close; we need one more game. And I would say when we play against our neighbours and in the final of the Champions League against an Italian team, be calm. The season is really good already with what we have done.”
The Spanish manager then spoke about how they are giving it back to the fans by making them happy. He said,
“Now we have to lift the trophies, but we’ve had so much joy and fun with our people this season. We made our fans happy all around the world. They saw a good team playing. This is the biggest compliment. But we are going to try.”
The former Bayern Munich manager then discussed how he intends to be there not only once but many more times. He said,
“Of course, we are there. The players can think about it and visualise it. It’s normal. We are three games away, one in each competition. We can do it. But for me, it is more important after many years that we are there.
