Riyad Mahrez was the star man as Manchester City flushed away Paris Saint Germain to proceed to the Champions League for the first time ever on a 4-1 aggregate score.
The Cityzens who took a precious 2-1 away victory to the Etihad knew what they were going to expect from Mauricio Pochettino's side and it proved to be right because they were on the backfoot from the start with Neymar and Marquinhos coming close.
But a swift counter attack just after a botched PSG attack allowed the homeside to take the lead after eleven minutes of play.
A hawk-eyed Ederson launched a swift counter attack and quick City exchanges in the snowy conditions put Mahrez through and the Algerian did not dissapoint.
PSG suffered a serious blow before kick-off when world-class forward Kylian Mbappe was restricted to the bench because of injury. They did not lack endeavour or intent and had early hope when a penalty was awarded for a handball by Oleksandr Zinchenko before it was correctly overturned, but with Neymar subdued and City throwing bodies on the line in defence, Mauricio Pochettino's side could not find a way through.
Mahrez punished them again just after the hour mark when he turned in Phil Foden's cross at the far post to effectively end the contest.
PSG, as they did when Idrissa Gueye was sent off late in the first leg, lost their discipline and Angel di Maria was shown a red card for a stamp on Fernandinho following a touchline tangle. Marco Verratti also saw yellow for a late scuffle, clearly it was a forgettable night for the Parisians.
City were in full control, avoiding further mishap to set up the Champions League final they and manager Pep Guardiola have craved, against either Chelsea or Real Madrid who meet later today at Stamford Bridge in Istanbul on 29 May.
