Real Madrid welcomed Manchester City to the Bernabeu on Wednesday night for the second leg of their Champions League semi-final.
The last-four tie was delicately poised following a goalless draw in the first leg at the Etihad last week.
Real Madrid took a one-goal lead into the interval, however, after Fernando deflected a Gareth Bale effort past Joe Hart in the 20th minute of action at the Bernabeu.
That goal proved to be the difference in the semi-final as Real Madrid marched onto the final, where they will meet rivals Atletico Madrid later this month.
Read how it all unfolded in Sports Mole's live minute-by-minute commentary of the action below.

16 - Cristiano Ronaldo has scored twice as many goals (16) as Man City's starting XI (8) in the Champions League this season. Lethal.
