To see a club like Real Madrid get put to the sword is always a surprise, but it’s even more shocking when you consider it was this team – in this competition.Įven when its domestic form has been found wanting in recent years, Madrid has always looked a different beast in the Champions League. It was a performance that not only saw Los Blancos crash out of the tournament, but also made a team of world-class superstars look mediocre and a fanbase used to chanting “Así! Así! Así gana el Madrid! (That’s how! That’s how! That’s how Madrid wins!)” stay eerily silent. The Spanish side had been outpassed, outrun and outclassed for almost the entirety of the 90 minutes by a City side that was simply a cut above. Even before the full-time whistle blew in Manchester City’s 4-0 mauling in the Champions League semifinal Wednesday, Real Madrid players looked to have accepted their fate.
