Haaland's final nightmare

Haaland has yet to score in the final.

This is the second consecutive time Pep Guardiola's side have failed to win the FA Cup final, having lost to Manchester United in 2024.

Haaland had high expectations before the match against Palace but failed to score in the entire match. This was the 9th consecutive final where the Norwegian striker could not score. If counting at Wembley, Haaland also failed to score in all 6 matches that took place at this stadium.

The only goal of the game was scored by Eberechi Eze in the first half, giving Crystal Palace their first FA Cup trophy in their history. The victory ensured Palace a place in next season's Europa League.

Meanwhile, for the first time since 2017, Man City ended the season without any trophies (except the Community Shield). This is also the second season in Pep's coaching career that he has not won any title.

Currently, Man City is also uncertain to be present in the Champions League season 2025/26. The team is ranked 6th in the Premier League, 1 point behind the two teams above, Chelsea and Aston Villa, but has played 1 game less.

Haaland will need to find his scoring form when City take on Bournemouth in the Premier League on May 21. The race for Champions League qualification is heating up, and Haaland's goals are crucial.

Haaland missed many chances on the day Man City won hard-fought Manchester City won 1-0 against Tottenham Hotspur in the match of round 27 of the Premier League on February 27.
