On Wednesday, the second participant of the UEFA Champions League final was revealed.
In the return leg of the semi-finals, "Man City" and Madrid's "Real" clubs battled it out, with the first match in Spain ending in a 1-1 draw.
The English team put on a real show on the field and crushed their opponents with a score of 4-0.
At the beginning of the match, the "city dwellers" played more actively, but opportunities were wasted by Rodri and J. Stones.
In the 13th minute, T. Courtois defended the goal from E. Haaland's attempt. In the 21st minute, the Belgian once again foiled the Norwegian's efforts to score the first goal.
A few minutes later, "Man City" raised all the fans in the stadium - a combination of J. Guardiola's proteges ended with a precise strike from B. Silva - 1-0.
In the 35th minute, T. Kroos shook the hosts' goal structure with a powerful shot.
Shortly after, B. Silva scored his second goal when he headed in a teammate's inaccurate attempt - 2-0.
In the second half, "Real" tried to play more actively but failed to create good opportunities.
In the 76th minute, the fate of the series was sealed when E. Militao sent the ball into his own goal - 3-0. At the end of the match, the opponents were demoralized by J. Alvarez, who appeared after a substitution and scored - 4-0.
In the UEFA Champions League final, "Man City" will face Milan's "Inter" team on June 10 at Istanbul's "Ataturk" stadium.
