Real Madrid will again meet Atletico Madrid in the Champions League Final after they progressed 1-0 against Manchester City in the semifinals. The two Madrid clubs met just two years ago in the Final, won by Real Madrid after Sergio Ramos broke through in the 93rd minute to send the match to extra time.

Gareth Bale scored the lone goal of the tie in the 21st minute after he was found in space breaking toward the sideline by Dani Carvajal. Bale's shot was deflected into goal by Fernando and ruled an own goal.

Real Madrid was far from convincing in killing off the match and were fortunate Manchester City played with no real sense of urgency until the final minutes.

City had the advantage of knowing a tie scoreline with a road goal would allow them to advance following the 0-0 result in the first leg. Kevin De Bruyne lacked energy and City were unable to play the ball to Sergio Aguero in any meaningful areas. Raheem Sterling had a few opportunities on the left when he came on for Manuel Pellegrini and Aguero had one threatening strike from outside the box in the final minutes that sailed slightly over the next.

Keylor Navas was steady in goal for Real Madrid but he largely went unchallenged by City over both legs.
