(CNN Spanish) -

Pep Guardiola's Manchester City is the first classified to the grand final of the Champions League.

The "citizens" finally reached their first Champions League finish by defeating Paris Saint-Germain 2-0 on Tuesday, in the second leg semi-final played at the Etihad Stadium.

City already had a 2-1 lead in the first leg, but Riyad Mahrez's two goals in the rematch ended up sealing their historic qualification.

The Algerian attacker ended up being fundamental in the tie against PSG, taking into account that he also scored the second goal for the English team in the first leg.

For its part, the Parisian team showed its most opaque face in the absence of Kylian Mbappé, who ended up watching the game from the bench due to an annoyance.

Neymar Jr., Mauro Icardi and Ángel Di María were unable to threaten the goal defended by the Brazilian Ederson.

Argentine Di María even ended up being sent off at minute 69 for a stomp against Fernandinho.

There it seemed to finish sinking the PSG.

Guardiola and his team finally achieve the goal for which Manchester City invested so much in recent years.

The club had never reached a final, and Guardiola, who joined the team in 2016, had not qualified for a Champions League final since 2011, when he did so with Barcelona.
