Pep Guardiola believes the negative emotion from last season's defeat to Real Madrid has gone after they dethroned the European champions.
The Catalan saw his side put on a masterclass to ease past the Spanish giants 4-0 at the Etihad and 5-1 on aggregate. It means the former Barcelona boss now has the chance to secure a third Champions League title - and his first since 2011.
Last season they were denied another final appearance as Los Blancos produced a dramatic late comeback, scoring twice in the final minutes to force extra-time. Karim Benzema then scored the winning goal to dump out City when it looked for all money like they were destined to make the final.
