THE NOTEBOOK: Bernardo Silva pumped up the crowd by annoying Eduardo Camavinga, Kevin De Bruyne copped verbal blast from Pep Guardiola... and Juanma Lillo's wacky plans do not wear off on Man City boss

Manchester City marched into the Champions League final for the second time in three seasons after outclassing holders Real Madrid 4-0 for a 5-1 aggregate victory at a raucous Etihad Stadium.

Bernardo Silva's first-half double put City in control against the 14-time European champions on Wednesday night.

An own goal by Eder Militao after the break and a late fourth from Julian Alvarez sealed the deal for Pep Guardiola's side as they avenged last year's semi-final loss.

With Inter Milan awaiting in the final, City will now be huge favourites to finally deliver the trophy Abu Dhabi's Sheikh Mansour has craved since buying the club in 2008, having lost to Chelsea two years ago.
