Manchester City Conquer Real Madrid To Seal UCL Finals Spot

Manchester City Real Madrid Champions League UEFA

On Wednesday night at the Etihad, a commanding performance by Manchester City put an end to Real Madrid’s pursuit of a 15th Champions League championship.

With an 80% ball possession rate, Guardiola’s team controlled the first half.

Erlong Haaland, who appeared destined to score, attempted a header in the 22nd minute, and Madrid’s shot-stopper Thibaut Courtois was called upon to make a save.

The Portuguese player Bernardo Silva would quickly score City’s first goal, beating goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois despite his team’s heroics.

Despite an earlier long-range attempt from Toni Kroos that came dangerously close to giving Real Madrid a sucker punch equalizer, Silva was in the middle of things again in the 37th minute to give the Citizens a two-goal advantage with a header.

In the 76th minute, after Akanji touched on a free-kick before it hit the Real Madrid defender and went into his own net, Militao would eventually put an end to Madrid with an own goal.
