FT: Real 1-0 Man City. Los Blancos are through to a record 14th European Cup final. They will meet neighbours, Atletico on May 28 in the San Siro after Fernando's own goal was enough to see off a toothless City 1-0 on the night and 1-0 on aggregate.
Real with all of the ball. Time is surely up.
Otamendi booked. City's hopes are all-but over.
Three of four minutes of added time played.
Navas receives some treatment. The clock ticks down.
Keylor Navas comes out of his area to deal with a ball over the top. He gets past one and heads clear from another to concede a throw. The Bernabeu was fearful there, but the keeper did well to be fair.
Pellegrini rubs his face in his hands after seeing that Aguero strike just miss. Will that give them belief in the dying moments?
Aguero lets rip with a 25-yard drive that flashes just over the top.
REAL SUB: Modric off to huge applause. Kovacic on.
Time running out for City. They are finally enjoying some of the ball. Will nerves get to Real?
Bale is sandwiched by two City players but the referee waves away the appeals. Boos from the crowd. It was quite clearly a foul.
It's looking like a repeat of the all-Madrid final of 2014....
De Bruyne wastes the free kick, opting to arrow a shot into the side netting when a cross into a packed box made more sense.
Lucas lunges in on Sterling by the left byline. It's a dreadful challenge. Sterling is in a bit of pain after that. It was high and could easily be a red... the referee gives a yellow instead. Let off.
Sterling trying to spring into some form of life but Real crowd him out. There must come a point where they have to throw caution to the wind.
Ten minutes for City to pull off a comeback that their display doesn't really deserve.
At times it's come down to a duel between these two...
Replays showing a coming together between Kroos and Fernandinho. The referee didn't see it, but with some help from his assistant, finally gives the pair a talking to.
Still no sign of a City surge. Real continuing to push.
