Guardiola: 'I will love Man City forever'

VnExpressVnExpress03/06/2023


The victory over Man Utd in the FA Cup final helped coach Pep Guardiola feel the eternal love for Man City.

After the final whistle on June 3, coach Guardiola shed tears of emotion. Afterwards, he joined the group of players and danced in a circle to celebrate the title. When asked about his feelings at that time, the Spanish coach said: "Now I will love this team for the rest of my life. I was born a Barca fan and the FA Cup final is like when Barca meets Real Madrid. I understand the feeling of a Man City fan."

Guardiola has won 13 trophies with City, in seven seasons with the club, but he rarely cries at the moment of victory. This is the first time City have beaten United in a final, and the Spaniard believes the achievement is particularly significant.

Another reason why the 52-year-old coach was emotional was that Man City were now just one win away from a treble. "Now we can talk about the chance of a treble," he said. "The players will have two days off, then return to training for the final match against Inter in the Champions League final."

Man City's 2-1 win over Man Utd gave Guardiola his 34th title in his 14-year career. He averages 2.4 titles per season. Guardiola is the third most successful coach in football history, behind Alex Ferguson (49 titles) and Mircea Lucescu. If Man City win the 2022-2023 Champions League, Guardiola will equal Lucescu's record.

Guardiola is also the coach who has won 13 matches against Man Utd, the same number of matches he defeated Real Madrid. Guardiola's team also eliminated Man Utd six times, the most in the history of the "Red Devils".

Guardiola added that he hoped Man City would negotiate to keep captain Ilkay Gundogan. Gundogan's two goals at Wembley took Man City to 150 goals in all competitions this season. Only Man City have scored more goals in English football this season, and they reached that milestone in three seasons under Guardiola.
