Manchester City 4(5)-0(1) Real Madrid, UCL HIGHLIGHTS: Silva brace guides City to Champions League final against Inter Milan

JULIAN ALVAREZ MAKES IMMEDIATE IMPACT! ITS FOUR FOR CITY! Foden puts in a well timed through ball into the box towards Alvarez, who breaks free of a couple of defenders and the World Cup winner slots it to the left bottom corner!

Jack Grealish is booked

OUT: Erling Haaland IN: Julian Alvarez

An emphatic win on the cards for City as they still maintain a superior posession rate. The only other Premier LEague side that has won the treble is their city rival Manchester United, under Sir Alex Ferguson in the 1998-99 season and City are on their way to win it all!

OUT: Kevin de Bruyne IN: Phil Foden

OUT: Camavinga IN: Aurelien Tchouameni; OUT: Rodrygo IN: Dani Ceballos; OUT: Dani Carvajal IN: Lucas Vazquez

OUT: Ilkay Gundogan IN: Riyad Mahrez

MAKE IT THREE!! AKANJI! De Bruyne with a delightful floated ball inside the box, Akanji jumps and heads it in but it takes a deflection off Militao and goes inside the the post! Will go down as an own goal

Camavinga is booked as he brings down Grealish

INCREDIBLE SAVE FROM COURTOIS! Superb run from Haaland as he came into the box, Gundogan on the edge of the box back heeled it to Haaland, who tried to finish but Courtois ducks at the right time to keep the ball away

OUT: Toni Kroos IN: Marco Asensio

Rodri intercepts Vinicius and finds De Bruyne on the right to initiate a counter. Only Haaland was in front of the Belgian with three defenders covering them. De Bruyne lets a long through ball out but it eludes everyone and runs away

Wonderful flick from Silva to find a running De Bruyne but an equally good chase from Camavinga helps Real gain back posession

OUT: Luka Modric IN: Antonio Rudiger

Gundogan is booked for his mistimed slide tackle on Vinicius

Grealish dribbles past two defenders before colliding with Modric. The former is down and in pain but gets on foot quickly

Manchester City are unbeaten in their last 25 home games in the UEFA Champions League (W23 D2), with Lyon in September 2018 being the last away side to win there. Looks like this will be one of those nights as well!

De Bruyne takes the free kick tries to cross but mishits it directly towards the Real defense

This time its for a Real Madrid outfit. Carvajal is booked for pushing Grealish. Free kick for City in a dangerous position

Valverde challenges Gundogan for the ball inside City’s half but in the process clips the German’s boot and a free kick is awarded.

Alaba takes it from a long distace. He sends in a curler that dripped drastically, Ederson with a brilliant jump to glove it away for a corner

Diaz is booked for a foul. Free kick for Madrid

Kroos does good work in the middle as he dribbles past a couple of defenders before sending a lofted long ball to Carvajal into the box, the latter tries to control it but is intercepted

Set piece situation for City as they get a free kick. De Bruyne takes it and sends a lofted on in but it is cleared away

Benzema kicks it as the final 45 minutes begin. Starts off positively as they run into the City half, but nothing substantial happens

Brilliant first half for Pep’s men as they head into the break with two goals towards them. City’s midfield has been on point so far and the two goals from Silva is there to speak about their capability. Meanwhile, Real would be sweating on another potential failure as they’re already out of domestic tournaments and have faltered in the Spansh league as well. Can the 14-time UCL champion turn this around? Let’s wait for the second half

City inflicting as much pressure on the Real defense. Grealish floats on inside the box, Gundogan gets it in an awkward position, tries to volley it but couldn’t. Haaland gets it but is marked, he finds Akanji who shoots but the ball is kept away by Courtois

BERNARDO BRACE! Grealish slips one to Gundogan, who in turn tries a low through ball inside the box, it takes a deflection off Militao but Silva is there to head it into the top right corner!

WHAT AN EFFORT FROM TONY KROOS! Would’ve been world class if it had gone in. He tried an atrocious long ranger from way outside the box but it hits the crossbar! Huge props to Ederson as well, he got a finger to it

Corner for Real as Carvajal’s cross is deflected out. Modric takes it. He floats on in, Militao jumps but in vain

Rodrygo from the middle puts on a through ball directed towards a sprinting Benzema but the ball travels faster than him and into Ederson’s hands

Finally something from Real, that comes after 30 minutes into the first half, speaks volumes about the domination that City has shown. Vinicius on the left dribbles into the box but Walker cuts him off to avert danger

Haaland pushes Militao inside Real’s box. Referee calls the Norwegian to warn him for the second time

Real Madrid are winless in their previous four away games against Manchester City in the UEFA Champions League (D2 L2), losing each of the last two.

Superb run from Grealish as he changes the line of play from the left lane to the center before trying a through ball, Haaland is nowhere near to collect it as the ball goes to Coutois

CITY IN FRONT!!!! BERNARDO SILVA IS THE MAN! Fluidity at its best as the ball glided through three players before De Bruyne put on a through ball inside the box, as Silva latches on to it to slot it on the right! Deserving goal

UNBELIEVABLE SAVE FROM COURTOIS! Haaland gets a inch perfect lofted cross, he heads it in but Courtois dives full length to his right to save the header

City players are dictating the terms right now as they enjoy a superior posession percentage. Stones from the middle, puts in a through ball towards De Bruyne. He in turn crosses it but it is cleared away for a corner

Free kick near the box for City as Valverde fouls this time as well, this time on Gundogan. De Bruyne takes it, set piece situation. He tries to finish the job by himself as he shoots it from a long way, the right footed curler goes just wide of the goal post!

Free kick for MCI as Grealish is fouled by Valverde. Quickly taken as Akanji gets the ball on the left, he finds De Bruyne. The latter tries to cross but Militao is there to deflect it

Another attack from City. Gundogan on the left flank lofts it past three defenders in an attempt to find Haaland but there’s too much power on that one as it goes away for a throw

ALMOST!! WHAT A CHANCE! Grealish flights one inside the box, Haaland heads it but a brilliant reflex save from Courtois keeps him at bay. Vinicius then clears the ball out of danger

Grealish on the left tries to advance but Carvajal marks him to perfection and forces him to pass it to Gundogan in the middle. De Bruyne gets the ball, lets one float inside the box, Haaland sprints and jumps but Courtois grabs it

City smelling a breakthrough here. Haaland runs into the box, unmarked on the left but it’s a very tight angle and he decides to put a searching cross but no one is there to receive. Rodri gets the ball on the edge of the box, tries to slot it to the lower left corner but the ball goes just wide! CHANCE!

Silva broke through three defenders with a smooth move, three defenders converge into him and intercepts, huge shouts for a foul, nothing given. Silva reacts on the right as he pushes Kroos near the corner and a free kick is given to Real

Constant pressing from Man City. This time, Gundogan gets the ball in the middle, he puts in a curler inside the box but Courtois punches it out

De Bruyne advances into the final third on the right, puts a low cross into the box towards Silva but it is cleared

Gundogan and Grealish link up on the left lane, trying to initiate an attack but Real defenders are aware of the move and rush them. Walker gets the ball in the middle, he tries an ambitious long ranger but the ball flies into the stands

Manchester City starts the proceedings, it will play left to right first. Sedate start from the players as the ball stays in their own half for a couple of minutes

The players and match officials are ready inside the tunnel and are all set to take the field. Real Madrid player are donning the black and green jersey

This will be Carlo Ancelotti’s 191st game as a manager in the UEFA Champions League, the outright most of any coach in the competition’s history (overtaking Alex Ferguson, 190).
