Flights prices for Manchester to Istanbul skyrocket for Champions League final after Man City’s first-half masterclass against Real Madrid
Manchester City fans could pay exorbitant prices to travel to Istanbul to watch the Champions League final.
Pep Guardiola's side showed a super product in the first half of the Champions League semi-final second leg against defending champions Real Madrid.
In the 26th minute, De Bruyne passed between two Madrid defenders to find Bernardo Silva, who passed Thibaut Courtois to open the scoring.
And just seven minutes later, Silva scored again, this time with a cool header into the top corner from ten yards to give City a 2-0 lead and a 3-1 aggregate advantage.

But Man City could have scored 4/5 goals if not for Courtois' special reflexes. Meanwhile, Real played weakly, scoring 0.1 goals in the first half.
Such is the dominance of the City, the price of flights to Istanbul skyrocketing.
