Just seeing Kevin De Bruyne and Luka Modric on the same pitch again left us spoilt
BT’s Des Kelly tried to temper this giddiness by reminding anyone who would listen that “City are returning to the scene of an accident here,” in reference to their too-giddy-for-words semi-final defeat at the hands of the same opponents a year ago.
“He’s the final piece of the jigsaw,” said Shay Given, who was confident the blondie lad would lead them to glory. Against the run of play? Certainly. As Darragh Maloney pointed out, “that’s only the fifth time Madrid have mounted an attack – in comparison, Manchester City have had 28 of them”. May the usefulness of football stats rest in peace.
And then Kevin De Bruyne did Kevin De Bruyne things, blowing Thibaut Courtois away with so gorgeous a strike it should be – what’s it they say? – hung in the Louvre.
