In a focus battle in the second leg of the Champions League semi-final that ended in the early morning of May 5, Beijing time, Real Madrid defeated Manchester City 3-1 at home, thus defeating the opponent 6-5 on aggregate and advancing to the Champions League final for the 17th time in the history of the team.
After Real Madrid reached the Champions League final again after 4 years, Eurosport's reporter Siavoush Fallahi also posted that Real Madrid finally proved that even without C Ronaldo, they still have the ability to continue to stand on the top of Europe.
Siavoush Fallahi wrote: "Since Real Madrid have reached the Champions League final again, can we say that we have given C Ronaldo too much praise before, because Modric, Casemiro, Benzema, Florentino, Ramos and others have contributed, and these people are still at Real Madrid except Ramos. ”
Four years ago, Real Madrid beat Liverpool 3-1 in the final to win the Champions League for the 13th time in their history. It was also after winning the Champions League that Cristiano Ronaldo left the team due to a stalemate relationship with Real Madrid president Florentino. In the 4 years since he left Real Madrid, Ronaldo has been around Juve and Manchester United, but he has not won the Champions League again, and he has never won the Ballon d'Or or the world footballer of the year.
In the previous three seasons after Ronaldo's departure, Real Madrid had not been able to lift the Big Ears Cup again. In the 2018-19 season, Real Madrid lost to Ajax to stop the round of 16. The following season, he lost to Manchester City and also stopped in the round of 16. Last season, Real Madrid reached the semi-finals but were eliminated by Chelsea, who eventually won the title. Now, Real Madrid is finally standing in the Champions League final once again. And Ronaldo's Manchester United, it is very likely that next season will not even play in the Champions League, and perhaps the Portuguese will regret the choice to leave the Bernabeu.
