City thrashed the Spanish giants 4-0 at the Etihad for a 5-1 aggregate victory that exacted revenge for a dramatic semi-final exit to Madrid 12 months ago.

MANCHESTER - Manchester City's time to conquer Europe may have finally come after Real Madrid were slayed by the English champions on Wednesday to reach their second Champions League final.

A fifth league title in six seasons appears a foregone conclusion with City needing a maximum of three points from their final three games. Carlo Ancelotti's men produced a series of thrilling escape acts to win the competition for the 14th time last season."It was so painful last season," added Guardiola. "We had what happened in our stomach for one year. I think today everything came out."The collective brilliance of Guardiola's side shone through on a night when stars Erling Haaland and Kevin De Bruyne were kept scoreless.

Seven years into his reign at the Etihad, City got their equivalent as the might of Madrid were made to look mediocre.The style, as much of as the success, of that Barcelona team was why City built an entire sporting structure to lure Guardiola to the Etihad.
