The 2020–21 campaign saw City top its group with a club record of 16 points, twice defeating Marseille and Olympiacos, and collecting four points against Porto. In the round of 16, the Blues were paired with Borussia Mönchengladbach and progressed to the quarter-finals for the fourth consecutive year after winning both legs 2–0. It was fourth time lucky for Guardiola and City in the quarter-finals overcoming Borussia Dortmund 2–1 in both legs. In the semi-finals, City faced 2020 runners-up Paris Saint-Germain. City won the first leg in Paris 2–1 after going behind to a Marquinhos header, second half goals from Kevin De Bruyne and Riyad Mahrez turned the tie in City's favour. In the second leg, a goal in either half from Riyad Mahrez booked City's place in their first ever UEFA Champions League Final. City played Chelsea in an all-English final at the Estádio do Dragão in Porto, Portugal, and were defeated 0–1 by a goal scored by Kai Havertz.
