Manchester City crashed out of the Champions League to a 1-0 defeat at the Bernabeu as a deflected Gareth Bale cross saw the 10 times winners go through to the final.
City knew any goal would be of immense value having kept the Madrid men at bay in a 0-0 draw in the first leg. City, however, failed to make any inroads and struggled to get at what was a stern Madrid backline.
After having rested a host of players to the detriment of City’s showing at St Mary’s on Sunday, the defeat makes it an even harder pill to swallow.
Vincent Kompany also left the field of play having picked up yet another muscle injury, which leaves many asking themselves whether he will ever have as integral a role at the club in the future.
City host Arsenal next where they will hope to secure Champions League football next season for the incoming Pep Guardiola.
