Manchester City Crush Real Madrid 4-0 in Second Leg, Securing Champions League Final Spot
Silva's Brace Leads City to 5-1 Aggregate Triumph
Manchester City FC have advanced to the final of the UEFA Champions League after a dominant 4-0 victory over Real Madrid in the second leg of their semi-final clash at the Etihad Stadium.
This emphatic triumph secured a 5-1 aggregate win for City, who extended their unbeaten streak in European competition to an astonishing 22 matches. The last time City tasted defeat in Europe was a 3-1 loss to Real Madrid in the semi-finals of the 2015-16 season.
Bernardo Silva was the star of the show for City, netting a superb first-half brace. The Portuguese midfielder opened the scoring in the 11th minute with a clinical finish and doubled City's advantage in the 21st minute with a stunning curling effort.
City continued to dominate the proceedings in the second half, with Militao extending their lead to 3-0 in the 55th minute. The hosts capped off their impressive performance when Raheem Sterling added a fourth goal in the 74th minute.
Real Madrid, who had won the Champions League a record 13 times, were unable to find a way past City's resolute defense. The Spanish giants also failed to register a single shot on target during the entire match.
Manchester City will now face either Liverpool FC or Villarreal CF in the final of the Champions League, which will be held at the Stade de France in Paris on May 28th.
