Pep Guardiola hasn't lost 4-0 too often in his managerial career, but he got all of his tactics wrong in this semi-final second leg.With a 1-0 lead already in the bank, Carlo Ancelotti's side were well and truly cruising as Sergio Ramos bagged two headers before Ronaldo finished off a rapid counter-attack. The Portuguese forward got his second shortly before full-time to send Madrid into their first Champions League final since 2002.They would win that game against local rivals Atletico Madrid, ushering in a new period of modern dominance for the club in Europe.
