Bernardo Silva struck twice and Manuel Akanji and Julian Alvarez once each as Manchester City clinched a second UEFA Champions League final appearance with a resounding 4-0 win over reigning champions Real Madrid.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Pep Guardiola's side produced a breathless attacking display to overpower holders Real Madrid in the second leg of their UEFA Champions League semi-final tie on Wednesday night to set up a meeting with Italian side Inter Milan in the Istanbul final on June 10.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
After the two sides had drawn the first leg 1-1 a week earlier, Man City made the breakthrough at 23 minutes, when Kevin De Bruyne played in Bernardo Silva, who kept his composure before firing in.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
City continued to dominate and had their second 14 minutes later, Silva again the scorer, this time heading beyond Thibaut Courtois.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Things got even better on 76 minutes, when a free-kick from De Bruyne was met by Manuel Akanji and his header went in off Eder Militao, before Julian Alvarez added a fourth in stoppage time.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Inter confirmed their place in the final by defeating AC Milan 1-0 for a 3-0 aggregate win in Tuesday's semi-final.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
It will be the second time City have figured in the final following our maiden appearance in 2021 when we were edged out 1-0 by Chelsea.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Inter meanwhile are three times winners of European football's most prestigious tournament, their most recent successes coming in 2010 when the Italian side beat Bayern Munich 2-0.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
