Fan Footage Shows Pep Guardiola's Brilliant Reaction To Vinicius Junior's Dummy

Vinicius Junior's dummy on Fernandinho left Pep Guardiola on his knees, with the Manchester City manager wary of what was about to happen.

The English club flew out of the blocks, with the quickest goal ever in a semi final in the competition, and were two goals up inside 11 minutes.

Karim Benzema continued his amazing record in the tournament this season to make it 2-1, before Phil Foden restored the hosts two goal lead.

That's when Vinicius provided what would normally be the most magical moment of any game, but on this night was one of many, as he left Fernandinho in his dust with a wonderful dummy.

The former Everton player was able to make kick off and played at right back, coming up against Vinicius, but he had to come off injured in the first half.

That brought Fernandinho on, to play in a rather unfamiliar position, and come up against speedster Vinicius, who is also 15 years his country man's junior.

With that mismatch in place, it didn't help that Aymeric Laporte wasn't quick enough in coming across to help his teammate and the Real forward halved the deficit.

The momentum in the tie would swing both way again after Vinicius' goal, as Bernardo Silva's brilliant strike, and the referee's smart decision to play advantage, helped City grab a two goal lead for the third time.

Guardiola can at least be happy knowing that he can't be on the end of the usual criticism he gets around this point of the Champions League, as he certainly didn't overthink things.

His team will actually be annoyed that they didn't win by more but having defended a one goal lead in Madrid in the last round they will be optimistic about getting into their second Champions League final in-a-row.
