Fully deserved from City tonight. PSG gave it a go for maybe 50-60 minutes. It's not enough. Lots of quality in that PSG side. They had a go and then they fell away but they were forced to fall away. I've got to reiterate the individual performances from City tonight gave City as a team a collective very strong and professional team performance and they deserve to go to the final.

'We could have scored more'
FT: Man City 2-0 PSG (Agg: 4-1)

Manchester City's Riyad Mahrez talking to BT Sport: "It was a very good game. We didn't start well again - we didn't have a good first half but we got the goal and we were more comfortable. We played well second half and we could have scored more. They lost their nerve and started to kick us and after the red card it was more comfortable.

"It wasn't the game plan to counter attack, but they had to come at us and maybe at times we were a bit deeper and we are good on the counter. That's how the two goals came about and we are happy."

On the first goal: "Of course Ederson's long pass was planned. We know he is capable of putting the ball in the other goal and we work it all the time and today it worked."

On playing in a semi-final and reaching a final: "You have to be solid and everybody has to be solid defensively and that's why we did. We didn't concede much and I think that's why we're in the final. It's good. We have another game on Saturday we need to be win to be league champions and then we'll concentrate on the Champions League final."

'Every City player could be man of the match'

Every Man City player could be the man of the match. Dias and Stones were outstanding. Mahrez obviously with his goals. Bernardo Silva, Gundogan and Fernandinho. I could go through all of the side. They were absolutely outstanding.
