Grealish further elaborated on the team’s unwavering confidence, emphasizing, “There’s something indescribable about the atmosphere, whether it’s the support of our fans or the familiarity of the pitch.

Manchester City Exorcise Last Year’s Demons with Champions League Triumph
A year ago, it was the Real Madrid players who reveled in their semi-final victory over Manchester City, overturning a 4-3 deficit from the first leg to emerge triumphant with a 3-1 victory in the second leg played in Madrid.
That defeat had lingered in the minds of City’s players until they finally expelled that “pain” on Wednesday night, according to their manager, Pep Guardiola.
Reflecting on City’s qualification for the Champions League final for the second time, Guardiola expressed, “We carried the weight of what happened last season, losing to Real Madrid. Tonight, we were able to release all those emotions that had been so painful.”
With their victorious performance, Manchester City not only secured a spot in the pinnacle of European competition but also exorcised the haunting memories of their previous disappointment.
