Manager Pep Guardiola continued to demonstrate his coaching prowess by leading Manchester City to victory in the 2025/26 FA Cup after a 1-0 win over Chelsea in the final.

On May 16th, Antoine Semenyo scored the only goal of the match, helping Man City win their eighth FA Cup title in history. The victory at Wembley helped the Manchester team complete a domestic double this season, having already won the Carabao Cup.

This achievement also puts Guardiola into the history books of English football, as he becomes the first manager to win both domestic cup titles in the same season. Previously, the Spanish strategist had done the same in the 2018/19 season. Even legends like Sir Alex Ferguson or Arsene Wenger have never replicated this feat in their managerial careers in England.

Not only Guardiola, but Man City also joined the rare group of clubs that have completed the FA Cup and League Cup double in the same season. Previously, only Liverpool achieved a similar feat in the 2000/01 and 2021/22 seasons. In addition, Arsenal and Chelsea have also done this once in the past.

Under Guardiola, Man City is building on the most successful period in the club's history. Since taking over the team in 2016, the Spanish strategist has won a total of 20 major and minor titles, including six Premier League titles, five Carabao Cups and three FA Cups.

The statistics also highlight Man City's dominance in cup competitions. The Manchester club currently holds the record for most FA Cup wins in the Guardiola era with 46 victories, and is also the first team in history to reach eight consecutive FA Cup semi-finals.
