Manchester City’s dreams of Champions League glory were left in tatters last night after limping out via a 1-0 aggregate defeat to Real Madrid.
The Citizens seemingly shrunk under the blinding lights of the Bernabeu, and, despite registering a near full strength team, didn’t even manage a single shot on target throughout the 90.
Welsh wizard Gareth Bale helped his side grab the only goal of the game when his effort was cruelly deflected off Fernandinho for an OG in the first half. Los Blancos proceeded to dominate proceedings for the rest of the match.
A disappointing end to a disappointing season for Man City, however could it of all ended differently for the visitors? Here’s Lucas Vasquez luckily avoiding a red card following a horrific lunge on Raheem Sterling seven minutes from time.
If justice was done, it could have made for a tense last few minutes for Real, no?
.@realmadriden lucky to have all 11 men on the pitch after Lucas Vasquez’ horror challenge. #UCL #RealvCity https://t.co/zE9KvCSQHG
