Manchester City failed to reach their first Champions League final after an uninspiring semi-final second-leg display at 10-time winners Real Madrid.
After a goalless draw in the first leg, Real took the lead when Gareth Bale's cross deflected off City's Fernando.
The home side dominated, Bale's header hitting the bar and Joe Hart saving from Luka Modric and Cristiano Ronaldo.
City rarely threatened as Real set up a meeting with rivals Atletico Madrid in the Milan final later this month.
The English side knew they potentially only needed one away goal to progress, but appeared reluctant to go for broke in the final stages - despite being encouraged to attack by the vocal 4,500 away supporters.
The home side's only real moment of concern came in the closing moments when Sergio Aguero's speculative effort flew on to the roof of the home goal.
Now they will meet Atletico at the San Siro on 28 May, in a repeat of the 2014 final which Real won 4-1 after extra-time.
NO DREAM GOODBYE FOR PELLEGRINI
City started the second leg knowing there would be no potentially awkward meeting with incoming manager Pep Guardiola in the final, his Bayern Munich side having fallen in their last-four tie against Atletico Madrid on Tuesday.
Now Pellegrini, like his Spanish successor at Bayern, will end his three-year reign without a dream goodbye in the San Siro.
Nevertheless, the Chilean will always be remembered for taking the Blues into the Champions League knockout stage for the first time.
Pellegrini finally succeeded where predecessor Roberto Mancini failed, but City's demanding owners will be expecting Guardiola to take their club into the latter stages as a minimum requirement.
Judging by their performance over the two legs against Real, the former Barcelona coach may decide his inherited squad needs an injection of world-class talent to regularly compete with Europe's elite.
For large periods, City lacked pace and energy against the Spanish title hopefuls - and, crucially, offered little attacking threat.
Key centre-back Vincent Kompany's early departure through injury left them lacking defensive organisation, while Yaya Toure's return failed to add any intensity to a midfield lacking bite in the Bernabeu.
And mustering only one shot on target in each leg was a telling statistic.
