Pep Guardiola, the City manager, has revealed that injured midfielder Kevin De Bruyne will be ready to face PSG.
"It was less than we expected and yesterday he felt much better," Guardiola said.
"I think if not for this final... maybe he will be ready for the semi-finals of the Champions League. We're incredibly happy to be in the semi-finals – the best four teams in Europe.
"The way we played for the last 30 minutes of the first half and in the second half was brilliant. We showed personality, we passed the ball and we did it."
The last time PSG hosted City in a competitive match was on 6 April 2016.
The two teams played to a 2-2 draw in the Champions League quarter-final first-leg match at the Parc des Princes.
