Real Madrid just defeated Man City 1-0 to join city rivals, Atletico Madrid in the final of this year’s champions league to be played in Milan on May 28. Real profited from a defensive mix-up when Gary Bale’s shot took a deflection off Fernando to put his side up.
It will be a replay of the 2014 final, where Real triumphed in a dramatic style. Atletico had led 1-0 until three minutes into injury time before Real Madrid equalised and went ahead to win 4-1 in extra time.
Man City failed in their quest for history as they pitifully failed to even put up a worthy challenge for a final ticket. For a long interval, the Citizens played as if the forgot what was at stake.
Nigeria’s Kelechi Iheanacho came in with 21 minutes left for Jesus Navas. but could not leave an impact as his side lacked cohesion.
