Jack Gaughan

JACK GAUGHAN AT THE ETIHAD: Bernardo Silva did fire a warning earlier in the week. A warning of what lay around the corner. A warning that a potential Treble could quickly disintegrate.

There were wry smiles across the continent on Thursday morning when the self-proclaimed Best League in the World saw its remaining Champions League hopes extinguished.

Jack Grealish issued a rallying cry for Manchester City to forget about European heartache and focus on embracing the prospect of creating more history.

JACK GAUGHAN AT WEMBLEY: Bernardo Silva's late winner against Chelsea saw the champions squeeze into next month's final where they will face either rivals United or Coventry City.

JACK GAUGHAN: More iconic but then none more redemptive than Wembley. When he does eventually leave, those standing behind that goal will remember their beating heart thumping the badge.

JACK GAUGHAN: Guardiola tore into the authorities after reaching the final, calling it 'unacceptable' that they were asked to play 66 hours after their loss to Real Madrid.

The Man City manager (left) said that he was 'extremely disappointed' by the club's tweet which cited 'three extremely poor decisions' that had gone against them at Goodison Park (right).

JACK GAUGHAN: Pep Guardiola (left) wants Phil Foden (right) to take his foot off the gas as Man City drive in search of an unprecedented fourth consecutive Premier League crown.

JACK GAUGHAN: Imagine if Phil Foden took penalties. Only Ollie Watkins has scored more from open play than Manchester City's No 47 this season.

JACK GAUGHAN: Immediately up next and with the pressure on, City then battered Nottingham Forest but only drew 1-1. Chris Wood scored Forest's sole chance, one of City's own making
