However, the fans' joy was about to turn into despair.VAR announced they were checking the goal and shortly after the goal was ruled out for offside.

City were absolutely heartbroken.

In the aftermath of the match, a reporter was interviewing City fans outside the stadium.

And one supporter was not aware that Sterling's goal was ruled out and actually thought they had won the game.

It made for a comical moment and you can relive it below...

Reporter: 'I know you are very disappointed…'

Man City fan: 'Very disappointed? We won?'

Reporter: 'No it was disallowed…'

Man City fan: 'Was it?'

Reporter: 'Yeah, seriously. I'm just seeing it. It's disallowed.'

The City supporter then took time to process what he was being told and thought it was 'unbelievable'.

That's the best example of why you should never leave a match before the final whistle.

Spurs went on to make the final, where they lost to Premier League rivals Liverpool. City's wait for a Champions League trophy goes on, but they are favourites to win it all in 2023.
