Carlo Ancelotti has sent a stark reminder that it is Real Madrid and not Manchester City who have reached the Champions League final despite the latter club signing Erling Haaland.
The Sky Blues announced Haaland will arrive at the Etihad from Borussia Dortmund ahead of next season in a statement on Tuesday, so long as personal terms are finalised. The Norwegian striker, 21, is regarded as one of Europe's most lethal goalscorers and he undoubtedly strengthens City's hopes of winning their maiden Champions League title.
However, that comes as little solace in the meantime as Pep Guardiola and Co. continue to come to terms with their dramatic semi-final exit at the hands of Real Madrid. City conceded two last-minute goals and again in extra-time to crash out of the competition with a 6-5 aggregate defeat.
