According to BT Sports, they were the first team since Liverpool and Tottenham in 2019 to reach the final despite being runner-up in their group.

Zanetti wants to avoid Madrid

Club legend and Vice President Javier Zanetti has praised the team’s effort to reach the final despite having a challenging season domestically.

The 2010 winner was quick to make a wish for the opponent he would love to face in the final, with Madrid and City set to battle tonight.

“I’d like to avoid Real Madrid because this competition seems made for them,” he told Sky Sport Italia, as quoted by Football Italia.

“However, the most important thing is to have arrived here. It was a difficult path; it’s not easy to play a derby in the semifinals. I did, and I was defeated in 2003.”

Madrid and City played a 1-1 draw at the Santiago Bernabeu last week, and it will be a winner takes all tonight. Pep Guardiola downplayed revenge after Carlo Ancelotti’ dumped them out of the competition at the same stage last year.

Madrid stranded at the airport

Zanetti’s wish may come to pass unexpectedly after Madrid was stranded at the airport for about 30 minutes at Manchester airport, as Sports Brief reported.

The team bus meant to convey the squad to the hotel arrived late, leaving the players hanging around at the terminal, and Ancelotti was not too impressed by the situation.
