Chelsea secured passage to their third Champions League final with a comprehensive 3-1 aggregate victory over Real Madrid in the semi-final and the scoreline flattered Zinedine Zidane's side.
Over the course of the two ties, Chelsea squandered a number of glorious opportunities to put the game to bed before Mason Mount's late strike on Wednesday evening quelled any Real Madrid hopes of a comeback.
But former Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has highlighted this lack of a clinical instinct among the Blues squad as the difference between the two English finalists.
"I would say City looks more mature," Wenger told beIN Sports.
"Both are very good in transition and both teams can maintain a high level, a high rhythm for 90 minutes.
"‘We could see that Real Madrid when they had to chase the game in the second half, they never found a way to be dangerous because the discipline of these English teams, the capacity to remain focused and the transition of pace to go quickly forwards was always a threat.
"Last night Paris Saint-Germain and tonight against Real Madrid – who are two big teams.
"On that front they are quite level. I find, the difference between the two teams is that conversion rate of chances created is, at the moment, much higher at City.
"They need less chances to score goals than Chelsea. But that can change, the final is on the 29th. It’s 24 days – a lot can change in between."
Manchester City progressed to the final following a 4-1 aggregate victory over Paris Saint-Germain, the team Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel was then manager of.
PSG's loss to Bayern Munich was Tuchel's first experience of a Champions League final and in Istanbul, on May 29 he will be up against three-time winner Pep Guardiola.
The Spaniard has experience of lifting the famous trophy as both a player and a manager, he won the European Cup in 1992 as a midfielder for Barcelona and led the same club to two Champions League triumphs in 2009 and 2011.
Tuchel will be hoping to have learned his lessons from last year's final and to go one better with Chelsea in just over three weeks time.
