Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola is confident that his team can make history in the Champions League semi-final second leg against Paris St Germain on Tuesday.

With a 2-1 lead from the first leg, City are within touching distance of their first Champions League final, a feat that Guardiola achieved twice as Barcelona coach.

Guardiola has urged his team to play with the same confidence that has helped them dominate the Premier League this season, saying, "We don't want to miss this opportunity. I have the feeling we are going to do well."

He added, "It's the first time most of us are here together - I know what we're playing for, in these games you don't need much emotions - be calm and know what you have to do."

PSG forward Kylian Mbappe is doubtful for the match at the Etihad Stadium due to a calf injury, but Guardiola has no doubts over his availability, saying, "He's going to play. I'm looking forward to him playing."
