Similarly, Chelsea head coach Thomas Tuchel had revealed his pleasure at full-time following his side’s win at Wembley.
“It was a very, very strong performance. Very happy and very proud,” said Tuchel.
“We played an excellent 35 minutes in the first half, then we had to suffer 10 minutes of some easy ball losses and, of course, the quality of City.
“Then we played another half an hour so, so strong. Deserved the lead, deserved to win and could even be one goal higher.
“The last 15 minutes we suffered a lot because they played with a lot of risks, many offensive players and we were becoming a bit tired.
“But it was a very, very strong performance and very happy for my team, very proud they performed at this level today.”
Tuchel has so far recorded a 75.1 per cent win rate since he took over at Chelsea in January and has kept 14 clean sheet across all competitions.
With a place in the final already secured, and a European date with Spanish giants Real Madrid in the next couple of weeks, it looks like the Blues are set for a repeat of 2012 feat, which they won a Champions League and FA Cup double.
Chelsea will now face winner of the encounter between Leicester City and Southampton on Sunday, in the final.
