Champions League Final: All Set For A Madrid Derby As Man City Lose To Real

Real Madrid will be meeting Atletico Madrid at Milan’s San Siro on 28 May for the final of the 2016 European Champions League after beating Manchester City in the Semi-final played on Wednesday night.

After a goalless draw in the first leg, Real took the lead when Gareth Bale’s cross deflected off City’s Fernando.

Fernandinho clipped the post in a rare City chance, but Real dominated as Bale hit the bar and Joe Hart saved from Luka Modric and Cristiano Ronaldo.

According to a BBC report, the English side knew they potentially only needed one away goal to progress, but appeared reluctant to go for broke in the final stages – despite being encouraged to attack by the vocal 4,500 away supporters.

The home side’s only other moment of concern came in the closing minutes when Sergio Aguero’s speculative effort flew on to the roof of the goal.
