City players celebrate Mahrez goal

After the incredible performance put up by his team against Paris Saint Germain in the Champions League, Pep Guardiola has finally spoken.

The Spaniard has attributed his team's historic Champions League record to the efforts put in since he arrived in the Premier League.

"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. We scored a goal through the hips [of the defensive wall] in the first game, and today Marquinhos hit the bar in the first half - you can be out for little details.

"Manchester United won a title because of John Terry's slip and scored in the last minute against Bayern Munich and Real Madrid won a title against Atletico in the 93rd minute. It's a competition that is so difficult and something in the stars is involved in that.

"I want to thank the owner, the chairman, and the staff at the club. This club is about all the people that work behind the scenes, it's not just about money. If you want to think that then you are wrong."

Pep's side has been knocked out in the quarter-finals in the past three seasons by Lyon, Tottenham, and Liverpool and lost in the last 16 to Monaco in his first campaign in charge.

Guardiola will know whom he plays in the Champions League final when Chelsea and Real Madrid meet on Wednesday night.
