    Total and utter dominance.  This is Real Madrid FFS, not just any old team.
    A very average Real side who have not looked great this season. 
    They were very average last season as well.

    Totally agree.  I honestly think only two of that team get in the City team as well.

    Funny things can happen in finals, but logically I can’t think of many reasons why Inter would beat City.

    Agree but we know Real in Europe are different breed. We saw that first leg.
    It's not a particularly good Real side - I think sides get intimidated by their history. 
    Like us in League One.

    Grealish, like a lot of players that have gone to City under Guardiola, in that first season they look like they've gone backwards as footballers. This season he has looked unstoppable at times

    I loved Pep's Barcelona in his first season, 2008/09, when he had Eto'o, Henry & Messi up top, and Toure, Iniesta and Xavi.

    Scored over 100 in the league, won the treble, and were really exciting with it.

    Then they every season after that they took the passing to death thing further and further and weren't quite as fun.

    Yeah, Pep has done a proper job with him, it’s great to see, wish City could get Bellingham, cause Pep would make him complete

    Pep made Grealish do the simple things when he joined, told him make the easy pass, he even said it in an interview. Now this season given him a bit more freedom and he looks like how he was at Villa but even better.

    A lot of it is he is fitter, not suggesting he was ever unfit.  

    I would love to see how much further city have run tonight than Madrid.  It never looks frantic because they are all so good on the ball but it's funny how often they get to a lose ball first. 

    And this is a Madrid team that have for a massive part been the fittest team in the world.

    Love to know how many times Grealish has been fouled in his career and how many of those have led to cards. FK magnet

    By his standards terrible. Hardly found a pass all night, overhit, underhit, missplaced, take your pick.

    To be fair, he has worked really hard, but nothing has come off for him.

    What must it feel like being at a match and your team is 4-1 up against Real Madrid with 10 minutes to play and heading towards a Champions League final? I can’t even imagine it.

    If it was Charlton I would be crapping myself, knowing that if any team could lose that lead it would be Charlton.

    What a pass from Foden 

    the strength from the bench is phenomenal

    Nice to see Madrid get thoroughly pumped by the better side for a change.
