MANCHESTER, England (Reuters) - An emotional Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola hailed a journey that has been "four or five" years in the making after seeing his side reach the Champions League final following a 2-0 win over Paris St Germain on Tuesday.

Riyad Mahrez's early strike at the Etihad Stadium put City in a commanding position in the tie, before the Algerian added another in the second half to seal 4-1 aggregate last-four success and book City a first-ever Champions League final spot.
