Euskaraz irakurri: Manchester Cityk Txapeldunen Ligako finalerako txartela lortu du, Real Madrid aurka erakustaldia emanda

Manchester City qualified for the Champions League final after beating Real Madrid 4-0 this Wednesday, May 17, in the second leg of the Champions League semifinals. As the first leg ended tied at one (1-1)the English team will face Inter Milan in the grand final.

In the match that was played at the Etihad Stadium, Manchester City was superior from start to finish. In the first minutes the chances, which came one after another. Only two impossible claps from Courtois, two point-blank headbutts from Haaland, prevented bleeding in the first twenty minutes. Real Madrid stood up, but it was just a deception. He endured an avoidance to fall by repetition and deservedly. De Bruyne filtered a magnificent pass for Bernardo Silva and he defined fiercely (1-0)tearing down the wall of Courtois, who had already exhausted the miracles and who could not do anything when the own Bernardo Silva headed a ball that floated in the area (2-0). He accommodated him to a squad with an unusual delicacy for this sport, more typical of someone who makes a layup in basketball or a drop shot in tennis, and the Madrid spirit vanished, who could have considered the 2-0 good at half-time.

Going through the changing rooms short-circuited the rhythm of the locals and allowed the courage of the white team to emerge, which, accustomed to European feats, trusted in a spark that would trigger another catharsis. It could have been a foul by Alaba, which Ederson touched with his fingers, it could have been one of the desperate snatches by Rodrygo or Vinícius, but, without perseverance and without faith, it was impossible for the miracle to be consummated this time. Only Courtois, once again, prevented his team from definitively lowering their arms prematurely and 20 minutes from the end he put out Haaland’s fire with a one-on-one in which the ball bounced off the Belgian’s body and kissed the crossbar from above .

At Real Madrid, who had deserved to be on the canvas for many minutes, luck was smiling again, but it was a sarcasm, superiority grimace. At minute 76, Militao, in an attempt to clear a side kick, sent the ball into his own goal (3-0)Real Madrid ended up collapsing.

He Julián Álvarez’s last-gasp goal (4-0) It was the last straw for a Real Madrid that was rarely, if ever, so outclassed in Europe.
