Two years following losing to Chelsea in Porto, Manchester City will have a second chance to finally win the Champions League final. The Citizens smothered Real Madrid 4-0 and will face Inter in the final on June 10 in Istanbul.
The Mancunians’ demonstration once morest Real will mark the spirits for a long time. After the 1-1 at the Bernabeu 8 days earlier, Manuel Akanji and his teammates gave the defending champion no chance in the second leg of the semi-finals.
A double from Bernardo Silva in the 1st period (23rd and 37th), a shot from the Zurich player deflected by Eder Militao in the 76th and a success from world champion Julian Alvarez a few seconds following his entry (91st) allowed the Skyblues to secure a historical qualification.
Unable to venture further than the central circle during a maddening first half hour, the people of Madrid might have even given in even faster if Thibaut Courtois had not managed two miracles on two headers from Erling Haaland. The Merengue missed the boat two minutes before the 2-0 with a shot from Toni Kroos deflected by Ederson on his crossbar.
Manual Akanji size pattern
Indisputable holder in the defense of Pep Guardiola, Manuel Akanji is preparing to write a beautiful page in the history of Swiss football. Against Real Madrid, the Zurich player delivered a new performance of choice. Scorer, he did not make the slightest mistake and, above all, the quality of his passing game helped his people to exert an overwhelming ascendancy.
