No one anticipated Real Madrid to lose to Manchester City in such a manner after the way they played in the first leg, and after the way they played in the second leg when they got fucked by Manchester City, no one anticipated Real Madrid to play so poorly. As a result, Manchester City prevented Madrid from scoring a single goal, leaving Madrid in serious pain at the moment. The first half of the match saw Manchester City's superstar player B. Silva score twice, and it was at that point that Madrid understood they had little chance of defeating the champions.

I expected it. Perhaps not a 4-0, but a game of serious dominance and no real chance for Real Madrid. Manchester City played that game in such a cool and calm manner, I never thought it could go a different way this time. Manchester City was prepared perfectly and when they play at home, it is almost impossible to beat them there. In the Premier League they won 16 out of 18 games. Now they had the perfect read about what Real Madrid will do in this game. But I am happy with the result as the right team found their way into the final. Manchester City deserved it and it is now time for them to win the trophy.
Manchester City managed to issue his ace card in this second leg. They didn't issue that in the first leg because they are well aware that their opponent in the semifinals is a club that can surprise, and they are smart not to use all their abilities in the first leg, so it is difficult for Real Madrid to see the full strength they have. Many have speculated and questioned why Pep Guardiola did not make substitutions throughout the match and he answered that with their game in the second leg. However they deserve to be in the final.

I don't think that Manchester City didn't try their best when they played in Madrid. Actually, Madrid did surprise them when out of a sudden they took full control over the game. It surprised me as well. But when it was 1-1, Manchester City knew that they are better with that result than Real Madrid. When you are up against Manchester City, you don't really want to be forced into attacking when you play in the Etihad Stadium. Now it can always happen that Real Madrid scores a lucky goal or a distance shot, but Manchester City didn't allow them to get into the danger zone. The shot from Kroos against the woodwork was about it.
