Ronaldo returned from a hamstring injury and helped Madrid reach a 14th European Cup final. A Gareth Bale shot deflected off Fernando in the 20th minute was all Real Madrid needed to dump Man City out of this season’s Champions League.
Real Madrid will come up against Atletico Madrid in a repeat of the 2014 final, where a 4-1 extra-time win saw Blancos secure a record 10th European crown.
Ramos said: “There are sometimes easier games and others harder, but the Champions League always requires enormous concentration. We were on top of it and we knew we had to end up with a goal. We’ve eliminated City, despite many saying they were a difficult rival.”
Ramos continued: “Now we can say we are in the final, in a season that has been difficult, but the work and union of the team has meant we are in two finals in three years. The team and the supporters deserve everything. We thank them because they have shown once again that they are an extra player for us.”
“Now, we will leave our soul in the final of the Champions League,” he stressed.
It should be noted that Zidane’s debut season could yet end with a league and European double. Real Madrid are eyeing a 11th UCL trophy this season
