Pep Guardiola’s City side will now face the winner of Wednesday’s last-four match between Chelsea and Real Madrid in the May 29th final in Istanbul.
“You have to be solid and everybody has to be solid defensively and that’s what we did. We didn’t concede much and I think that’s why we’re in the final,” said Mahrez,who also scored in the first leg.
Mahrez put City ahead on the night in the 11th minute and then finished off a superb counter-attack in the 63rd to secure their place in the final.
PSG sorely missed their talented striker Kylian Mbappe who,still struggling with a calf injury,was forced to watch the match from the bench.

Guardiola has not reached the Champions League final since his second European title with Barcelona in 2011.
“People believe it’s easy to arrive in the final of the Champions League. Getting to the final now makes sense of what we have done in the past four or five years. Every day these guys have been consistent and this is remarkable,” he said.
