Guardiola’s team had a brilliant first half to beat the European champions
Manchester City beat Real Madrid at the Etihad Stadium to play the UEFA Champions League final against Inter Milan on June 10. Guardiola’s team had a magnificent first half in which they overwhelmed Real Madrid with two goals from Bernardo Silva. In the second half, a Militao own goal in the closing stages sealed the tie. Julián Álvarez cut fourth.
The English team took revenge for what happened last season and was at a good level, especially in the first half. Real Madrid did not play in a first half in which Ancelotti’s side suffered, more than ever this year.

The thing turned to rest. The team was more aggressive and roamed the Ederson area more often (any less was impossible). But still they were far from scoring and with the third goal it was over. The dream of the fifteenth will have to wait. Julián Álvarez made it 4-0 with a discount to make the match and the result bloodier.
