The FA Cup final was Manchester City's last chance to end the season with a trophy, but Pep Guardiola's disciples lost 0-1 to Crystal Palace, missing that opportunity as well. The fate of the match was decided in the 16th minute by a shot from Eberechi Eze.
After the match, City head coach Guardiola commented:
“We made a plan, but it didn’t work. However, I have no regrets about the result. Rather, I am pleased with my team's fight and effort. There were chances in attack, but the opponent set up a very tight defense in the penalty area, which made scoring much more difficult.”
According to Guardiola, the team will now prepare seriously for the upcoming matches to secure a spot in the UEFA Champions League.
“We have two matches ahead that are like finals. We need to approach them fully focused,” said the Spanish specialist.
Through this, Crystal Palace achieved a significant result by winning the FA Cup for the first time in their history. Manchester City, on the other hand, is at risk of finishing the season without a trophy after a historic treble.
The Zamin.uz editorial team will closely monitor how Guardiola's team reacts in the upcoming matches. Do you think City can bounce back and secure a European spot?
