Manchester City fans have urged Borussia Dortmund midfielder Jude Bellingham to move to the Etihad this summer rather than make the switch to defeated Champions League opponents Real Madrid.
The Blues booked their place in the Champions League final at Los Blancos' expense as they produced a marvellous performance at the Etihad to run out 4-0 winners on the night, sealing a 5-1 aggregate victory over the two legs.
City started the game at a breathless pace and never let up, with Bernardo Silva netting twice before Manuel Akanji and substitute Julian Alvarez sealed the win in the second half.

Fans were jubilant following the win over the 14-time European champions - and some have even taken the opportunity to send a cheeky dig to England international Bellingham.
The Dortmund midfielder is reportedly set to join La Liga heavyweights Real Madrid this summer despite interest from Premier League sides, thought to include Manchester City.
And Blues supporters have now questioned why Bellingham would want to snub prospective interest from Pep Guardiola's side in favour of their fallen semi-final opponents.
Here's a selection of what some of them had to say on social media following the result:
City are now set to meet Italian side Inter Milan in the Champions League final at Istanbul's Ataturk Olympic Stadium on June 10, where they could seal a historic treble should they wrap up the Premier League title and FA Cup by then too.
