Yes. Crazy to see such a talented squad that hustles so hard as well. I saw Haaland defending in the box in the 82nd minute up 3, and Silva running 70 yards back to make a tackle. It’s like they take losing possession personally.
Grealish need some stats. The guy has consistntly been City's best player and today he was again. After such a disappointing season Hrealish has really picked himself up.
totally understand Bernardo getting it but for me the motm was Rodri. He single handedly dominated Madrids ENTIRE midfield. He is an unbelievable player.
Madrid were lucky to beat City last year, today's game really showed the levels of City. In the first half it was like City were playing against some U16s.
Nah the fact is pep was a genius this time around last time he had tactics planned but at reals home ground they were bound to get demotivated with their fans as 1 goal can change everything for Madrid. But this time pep had the fans hyped up for a demolition and played really risky and unstoppable fast paced attack. Nobody could’ve even thinked about that. Ggs pep u gave me nightmares today of 2019 ajax demolition of my team. But we will come back next season
"Lucky" ... not because they have a coach who has won it more times than any other coach, and have players who have won it more times than anybody. Just congratulate city that they are finally living up to their 1 billion + price tag, without trying to bring down a team that has won the champions league for fun
An EFL Division 2 team could have put up a better fight than Real Madrid did. Total Shambles. At a point I had to zoom in on my phone to check the faces of the Real players just to confirm they had fielded their starting 11.
Inter will park their blue bus but City will bag in 5 goals..Inter will get lucky and score one goal then fill 99 men in their goalposts to defend that one goal like their families have been held hostage by a bunch of terrorists and they've been tasked by them to defend like that if they want to save their families lives 🤣

Its great when Haaland can score, but his impact off the ball drawing in defenders, creates space for the others to make plays. It's the assist that nobody see's
Exactly, this is why you get Haaland. They paid so much attention to him that it allowed the midfielders to make runs in behind and cause problems. Before Haaland got there, they didn't have a de facto force in the middle and always ended up getting too cute to try and create goals.

City performed a demolition on Real Madrid! Absolutely dominated them! Crushed them! Dear Bernardo, you were a gladiator tonight!Top class players, all of them! It should have been 7-0 if Haaland had scored those chances. Let's perform another demolition on Inter!
This is Manchester City's year. Real Madrid may be the champions league kings, but they were outplayed by a world class team and this time they couldn't rely on luck because Man City dominated. They're just a machine and while most of the success this season has been all about Erling Haaland mostly Kevin De Bruyne as well the likes of Jack Grealish Bernardo Silva and Ilkay Gundogan are also important pieces in this City team. Bernardo Silva has been so versatile and every role he's played at City, he's done it so so well, Jack Grealish does the hard work on the ball and works hard off the ball and he doesn't need to score or assist you just have to watch him play and acknowledge just how good he is. Ilkay Gundogan along with Kevin De Bruyne makes this team tick in midfield he's an excellent utility player, he'll score when it's vital and make key plays moves and passes for this team. What about the defense, Kyle Walker shut Vinicius Junior down, Ruben Dias is one of the best transfers made in recent memory because he's one of the reasons why Manchester City have gotten to 2 champions league finals in the last 3 seasons his impact on the defensive end has been spot on and he's a leader and that's what you need in this talented side. John Stones is a world class defensive midfielder he's literally like his Sergio Busquets excellent in his passing game and plays center back too does these roles at such a high level, Manuel Akanji has been a revelation for this team he's been a bargain at 25 million and has been a starter for most of the season. They're winning champions league and Pep Guardiola finally found a formula for this competition and after overthinking for all these years, he finally knows his best 11 for these big champions league games and more of the same in the final.
The key is Rodri. He is the engine, the Busquets that got Pep to this final and the last. During the last final he benched Rodri, now he's probably learned his lesson.

Yeah I agree with Franck, last season Real Madrid had enormous luck but also took full advantage of good moments of play in each of those knockout rounds. Benzema last season was like man on fire, everything he touched turned to gold. Also, the aura of the club gave them that extra 5-10% where psychologically/ superstitiously they felt they had a divine providence.
how about it's just they have players and a coach who are more champions league proven, that is why they won it. Sometimes it is just another team's time ... that is what happened tonight.
Very surprised the pundits didn’t mention Ederson at all, who was incredible in goal but also and most importantly extremely good on the ball making great passes under pressure giving the City an edge.
ESPN needed to put "Man City crush Real Madrid" in the title like they did when they defeated Arsenal 4-1. Really don't understand the mollycoddling of Real, they got absolutely flattened!
Alvarez came on (Word cup winner,) on 91 mins won the ball near the halfway line then kept running to get onto Fodens pass for his goal. Thats the attitude to have if you want to be a winner.
As a Real Madrid fan, still proud of these players. Can’t disrespect them when they’ve achieved unparalleled success for us fans. Good luck to the City players, the better team won deservingly.
Respect. Real Madrid since 2014 has won 14 continental trophies, amazing achievement. It’s an end of an era for the club, they will bounce back and compete again in the future surely.
Real Madrid had 2 balloons d'ors on the field and got humiliated like a second division team. Real through out the years have won a lot of champions leagues with luck, referee bad judgements and individual talent. I remember all the offside goals vs Bayern, against Liverpool bad referring, and the exceptional things Benzema did last year. Man City is a machine, pure football, they have at least one of the best players in the world in each position and the speed they are passing the ball is excellent. I have never seen a champion league semi final so imbalance
Yeah exactly, City have been much better than Madrid for years and usually when Madrid won the Ucl there were better teams that season but they pulled it off in the end, sometimes with the help of refs and a bit of luck but this result against City was coming, they're different class compared to Madrid and pretty much everyone rn, also Bayern performanced much better than Madrid against City. City will probably remain the best itw until Pep leaves
Funny Ale.... that's been all that's been said. "RM is a different team in CL, they rise to the occasion blah blah ". Truth is, they should have been put out last year by City as well
@@Luckydice999 madrid fans are trash. we know plenty about madrid fans. only reason they are humble is because they completed 13 passes in 15 minutes. real were not defeated. they were castrated.
I didn't feel confident until Alvarez's goal, that's how badly last year's game scarred me. Can't wait for the final, but we got some other business to take of this week!
He makess the difference ..Julián Álvarez pressed a lot, recovered the ball, created the play for his teammates and ended up finishing with quality. is very good
This looked like the 2011 CL final. Pep against a world class manager who was completely at sea during the entire game. In 2011 it was Fergie, today it was Anecelloti.
@@opacino Was your IPhone 4 from 2011 better than your IPhone 14 Pro Max of 2023? Were your 480p videos of 2011 better than 4k HDR of 2023? If you took that 2011 Pep's team and changed nothing from that team, this Man City team will run them over. Why? Because this City team is built on the collective knowledge of all that has happened in the past including that 2011 Barca team. This City team would know exactly how that 2011 Barca team would play. But when that Barca team would see the speed of todays game, the intensity of pressing and the work rate off the ball and how all 11 of the City players defend as a unit, that Barca team would not know what hit them. Things get better because they are built on collective knowledge of all that has happened. This City side is better, not necessarily greater. Similarly the 1st IPhone was the greatest ever because it was miles ahead of the competition. But are you still holding on to that?
@@JW-be8wf absolute stupid analogy the players in that Barca team were way too good individually for this city team We’re talking abt prime Xavi Iniesta Busquets prime Messi
@@rapden18 You may be entirely too young and/or stupid to understand the evolution of a sport. I have seen 4 generation of footballers now and every generation is better than the one that preceded them. The "individual talent" you speak off is almost always beaten by the "collective" because after all this is a team sport. And even talents vary. Erling Haaland has 10% of Messi's "individual talent" but he is banging goals like a prime Messi and he is just 22! You know why? Because whatever "individual talent" Haaland lacks is compensated by the fact that his off the ball movement and timing is the best I have ever seen. He will never need to dribble past 6 guys to score. He will find the space, he will time his runs and he will tap them in. And he will do that at pace set by CR7 and Messi. This is what you call evolution. Don't be that idiot who thinks things don't get better. They almost always do. If they didn't we would still all be playing on Atari 2600 or Commodore 64.
@@rapden18 it's actually a good analogy and one of the smartest comments ive read in these sections. football has evolved in the past decade and a half. now more than ever it's about team cohesion and not individual players.
every single player in man city showed up, crazy team, de bruyne and haaland seems really tired in the middle of the second half tho, everyone else was great from start to end
It reminded me how argentina dominated croatio in world cup semi, and how they were dominating france for 81 min until otomendi made a goof off giving away penalty.
If City hadn't lost against Madrid last year in the way that they did, this performance wouldn't have been possible. They not only learned from it but became more complete players because of it. It was a blessing In disguise, however painful. Now we see the fruits.
He was bad bcoz opponents focus on him and haaland which gives space to players like gundo, grealish and bernardo. Take out kdb and haaland it would have been a diff game.
@@zola1282 He was not his usual self. The standards for him are too high I guess. But saying he was bad is too much. Plus his work rate was AWESOME. Just look how tired he was. That intensity in CL SF is unbelievable.
Best game of City I've ever seen. Today City showed the world why they dominate EPL for past five years. History? B, City is creating history!! Lets go City💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
@mick Zed he won it twice with barca and got to a final with bayern, got to the final with city. Twice now, and he is going to win it this time. GOAT.
The manager who has spent the most money of any manager ever, one who has managed the three richest/best/biggest clubs in three different leagues yet has still at this point in time only won the CL with a team that contained the widely perceived "GOAT" and some of the best players of that generation, or perhaps any generation. The greatest manager of all time? Not in this universe he isn't, nor will he ever be.
Thank you so much Man City. I respect Madrids history, but just because you have history, doesn’t automatically make you better than the other team. They and their fans needed to be humbled.
From what I remember, last year it was exactly the same except for last 5-7 mins of the second leg. This Madrid team is so overhyped but somehow they won last year.
They had a more complete squad last year. This year their LB Mendy has barely played, always being injured, lost Casemiro, his 100 mill replacement is benched, and Modric, Benz and Kroos are a year older. Bound to lose that midfield battle when you don't put the youth in.
at one moment john stones was literally walking with the ball in the middle of the park. the levels that man city showed was just insane, outrageous and true meaning of dominance.
@@shayanmardanbeigi2697 there are teams that spend millions on players but never won the UCL. Pep won it without spending millions in Barcelona and so that excuse is just childish
Man City have the most expensively assembled and paid squad of all time, and they are managed by the person who has spent the most money of any manager ever. He's managed the three biggest/richest/best club in three different leagues yet he's still only won the CL with a team that contained the widely perceived "GOAT" as well as some of the best players of their generation or indeed any generation. The "GOAT"? Not in this universe he isn't.
@@vlad3858 because it is a completely different story. Real, Bayern, Juventus, Liverpool have been "naturally grown" teams that build up their status and financial power by being succesfull for centuries. They all played by the same rules and needed to find the right balance between the success on the pitch while still being profitable businesses. They all had financial limitations. City, Paris and soon Newcastle don t have that anymore. They are used by oil money countries/cooperations as a shiny new toy to polish their image in the world. They have no spending limitations no need of being profitable and will run all the others teams into the ground since they cannot compete with transfer fees and wages. They will just push the rest into the super league (what noone really wants) since it will be the only fair way to compete.

Outstanding performance by City . The first half was unbelievable- it’s too bad that it wasn’t 4-0 at halftime but Courtois showed his class to keep Real Madrid in it. The second half was never to going to rival the first half because Peps side had this game stitched up. I feel for Carlo Ancelotti as he knows his time is up - he is a class act always , a great player, a magnificent Manager and an even better human being. Pep is simply the finest Manager and Coach I have ever seen in over sixty years of following the game.
I mean luck has to run out sooner or later. It’s all fun and games to joke about Ancelotti brow and comebacks, you can’t just expect that to be the cornerstone of your game.
Well spoken. The luckiest team in the UCL. Especially last season where city outplayed them. It’s now 1 win for RM in 6 knockout games vs Man city. Somehow their fans forget this poor record.
man city were ridiculously good in the first half I don’t understand why ancelotti wouldn’t play alaba on the left with rudiger and militao in CB city were running rings around camavinga on the left which led to the first goal 🤷🏼♂️🤦🏽♂️
"1st half I can't remember a game where so much at stake at this level where one team could be so dominant" feel like they say that a lot cause last world cup final nothing will beat that game for me
Grealish was my man of the match for me! Despite loving every City player performance, I honestly love how Jack Grealish is playing so good while having such a 'come at me' attitude! I absolutely love him!

The work rate of this squad is incredible. Every man, whether they played full time or came off the bench, outworked their Real Madrid counterpart.
That comes from coaching. That’s why people who call Pep a fraud are absolute morons. Look how he gets the team playing

Yes. Crazy to see such a talented squad that hustles so hard as well. I saw Haaland defending in the box in the 82nd minute up 3, and Silva running 70 yards back to make a tackle. It’s like they take losing possession personally.

something that should’ve happened since last season psg….
Real Madrid had 2 balloons d'ors on the field and got humiliated like a second division team. Real through out the years have won a lot of champions leagues with luck, referee bad judgements and individual talent. I remember all the offside goals vs Bayern, against Liverpool bad referring, and the exceptional things Benzema did last year. Man City is a machine, pure football, they have at least one of the best players in the world in each position and the speed they are passing the ball is excellent. I have never seen a champion league semi final so imbalance
Yeah exactly, City have been much better than Madrid for years and usually when Madrid won the Ucl there were better teams that season but they pulled it off in the end, sometimes with the help of refs and a bit of luck but this result against City was coming, they're different class compared to Madrid and pretty much everyone rn, also Bayern performanced much better than Madrid against City. City will probably remain the best itw until Pep leaves
Funny Ale.... that's been all that's been said. "RM is a different team in CL, they rise to the occasion blah blah ". Truth is, they should have been put out last year by City as well

I didn't feel confident until Alvarez's goal, that's how badly last year's game scarred me. Can't wait for the final, but we got some other business to take of this week!
Yeah
Especially when the second half started, Real got more ball possession
I felt the same way! The collapse last year scarred me too, not until the 4th goal did i relax
It's funny they have haaland on the thumbnail when he didn't score any goals and the guy who subbed for him with a minute to go did.
He makess the difference ..Julián Álvarez pressed a lot, recovered the ball, created the play for his teammates and ended up finishing with quality. is very good
This looked like the 2011 CL final. Pep against a world class manager who was completely at sea during the entire game. In 2011 it was Fergie, today it was Anecelloti.
Pep's team in 2011 was much better than their team today.
@@opacino Was your IPhone 4 from 2011 better than your IPhone 14 Pro Max of 2023? Were your 480p videos of 2011 better than 4k HDR of 2023?
If you took that 2011 Pep's team and changed nothing from that team, this Man City team will run them over. Why? Because this City team is built on the collective knowledge of all that has happened in the past including that 2011 Barca team.
This City team would know exactly how that 2011 Barca team would play. But when that Barca team would see the speed of todays game, the intensity of pressing and the work rate off the ball and how all 11 of the City players defend as a unit, that Barca team would not know what hit them.
Things get better because they are built on collective knowledge of all that has happened. This City side is better, not necessarily greater.
Similarly the 1st IPhone was the greatest ever because it was miles ahead of the competition. But are you still holding on to that?
@@JW-be8wf absolute stupid analogy the players in that Barca team were way too good individually for this city team We’re talking abt prime Xavi Iniesta Busquets prime Messi
@@rapden18 You may be entirely too young and/or stupid to understand the evolution of a sport. I have seen 4 generation of footballers now and every generation is better than the one that preceded them. The "individual talent" you speak off is almost always beaten by the "collective" because after all this is a team sport. And even talents vary. Erling Haaland has 10% of Messi's "individual talent" but he is banging goals like a prime Messi and he is just 22! You know why? Because whatever "individual talent" Haaland lacks is compensated by the fact that his off the ball movement and timing is the best I have ever seen. He will never need to dribble past 6 guys to score. He will find the space, he will time his runs and he will tap them in. And he will do that at pace set by CR7 and Messi. This is what you call evolution.
Don't be that idiot who thinks things don't get better. They almost always do.
If they didn't we would still all be playing on Atari 2600 or Commodore 64.
@@rapden18 it's actually a good analogy and one of the smartest comments ive read in these sections. football has evolved in the past decade and a half. now more than ever it's about team cohesion and not individual players.

It reminded me how argentina dominated croatio in world cup semi, and how they were dominating france for 81 min until otomendi made a goof off giving away penalty.
If City hadn't lost against Madrid last year in the way that they did, this performance wouldn't have been possible. They not only learned from it but became more complete players because of it. It was a blessing In disguise, however painful. Now we see the fruits.

Thank you so much Man City. I respect Madrids history, but just because you have history, doesn’t automatically make you better than the other team. They and their fans needed to be humbled.
From what I remember, last year it was exactly the same except for last 5-7 mins of the second leg. This Madrid team is so overhyped but somehow they won last year.
They had a more complete squad last year. This year their LB Mendy has barely played, always being injured, lost Casemiro, his 100 mill replacement is benched, and Modric, Benz and Kroos are a year older. Bound to lose that midfield battle when you don't put the youth in.

@@vlad3858 because it is a completely different story. Real, Bayern, Juventus, Liverpool have been "naturally grown" teams that build up their status and financial power by being succesfull for centuries. They all played by the same rules and needed to find the right balance between the success on the pitch while still being profitable businesses. They all had financial limitations. City, Paris and soon Newcastle don t have that anymore. They are used by oil money countries/cooperations as a shiny new toy to polish their image in the world. They have no spending limitations no need of being profitable and will run all the others teams into the ground since they cannot compete with transfer fees and wages. They will just push the rest into the super league (what noone really wants) since it will be the only fair way to compete.

Outstanding performance by City . The first half was unbelievable- it’s too bad that it wasn’t 4-0 at halftime but Courtois showed his class to keep Real Madrid in it. The second half was never to going to rival the first half because Peps side had this game stitched up. I feel for Carlo Ancelotti as he knows his time is up - he is a class act always , a great player, a magnificent Manager and an even better human being. Pep is simply the finest Manager and Coach I have ever seen in over sixty years of following the game.
how is he when you just said Ancelotti has done better than pep within those 60 years as a coach?
Courtios is the best goalkeeper , made the best best saves
Not even the best in Spain
Just like argentina 🇦🇷, it's the citizens year
I mean luck has to run out sooner or later. It’s all fun and games to joke about Ancelotti brow and comebacks, you can’t just expect that to be the cornerstone of your game.
