Manchester City will face Inter in this season’s Champions League final in Istanbul. The English champions eliminated Real Madrid with a 4-0 win at Etihad in their return leg. A week ago they finished in 1-1 tie in Madrid.
In Manchester Pep Guardiola’s men were dominant from start to finish and showed a performance worthy of a title against the reigning champions. Bernardo Silva scored the first goal in the 23rd minute after a great assist from Kevin De Bruyne.

Just 15 minutes later the Portuguese doubled his tie after a few rebounds as he placed an accurate header into the open goal for 2-0.
Real Madrid kicked-off the second half on high tempo, but with quarter of an hour to go Akanji collected a cross from a free kick and deflected the ball enough to hit Militao’s body and an own goal made the score 3-0.

In the added time the substitution Julian Alvarez finished it off with fourth goal after perfect assist from Foden, slipping the ball past Courtois.
This will be Pep Guardiola’s second Champions League with Manchester City after his loss in Lisbon against Chelsea in 2021.
