Pep Guardiola’s side put in a superb performance to get past Nuno Espirito Santo’s surprise package and reach a third straight final.
The success means we’re the first club ever to play in the final of both major domestic cups three times in a row.
fa cup MATCH REPORT: NOTTINGHAM FOREST 0-2 CITY
A spirited City didn’t need long to show we meant business, with Rico Lewis rifling home the opener after just two minutes.
The Academy graduate shone in midfield all afternoon after wandering into a pocket of space and finishing low and hard to give us the perfect start.
We remained on top throughout the first half without taking advantage but that lead was doubled early in the second period when Josko Gvardiol rose highest in the box to nod home a corner.
Forest threw everything at us after that, hitting the woodwork three times and forcing Stefan Ortega Moreno into several impressive saves.
Even then, we still gave just as good as we got and could easily have widened the margin of victory as we booked a date with Crystal Palace in next month’s final.
Watch the best of the action above...
