Manchester City did not just beat Real Madrid in Wednesday's Champions League semi-final second leg.

Pep Guardiola's team overwhelmed the 14-time champions by dominating a remarkably one-sided game at the Etihad Stadium.

Bernardo Silva scored two goals in a first half that saw City players have 196 touches in the attacking third of the pitch.

Conversely, Real players touched the ball just 10 times in the final third during the opening 45 minutes.

City ended the first half having bossed possession with 72%.

The possession stats in the second period were less one-sided and resulted in City ending the match with an overall share of 60%.

But a deflected Manuel Akanji goal and a stoppage-time strike from substitute Julian Alvarez gave City a 4-0 win that did not flatter them in the slightest.
