Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City was defeated 2-1 by Manchester United in the FA Cup final. In this way, the Citizens end the 2023/24 season with “barely” a title under their belt, after having achieved the Premier League.
City arrived as a great candidate for the decisive match of one of the oldest tournaments in the world. They had beaten Premier for the fourth consecutive time, while their classic rival arrived with their coach almost fired and after a very irregular semester.
However, it has been proven that in football 1 plus 1 is not always 2 and the Red Devils gave the big surprise, thanks to the goals of Garnacho and Mainoo. Towards the end of the match, Doku put City into extra time but it was not enough.
City had not known defeat since December 6 of last year, in the match against Aston Villa in the Premier League where they lost by the minimum in the last quarter of the match.
It is worth remembering that Guardiola’s men were eliminated by Real Madrid in the quarterfinals of the Champions League but it was through penalties. Both matches ended in a draw.
