Winning 2-1 against MU, Man City won the FA Cup, this is the second trophy of coach Pep and his team. The English team only has 1 more title, the Champions League, to become one of the clubs that won the great treble of the season.
There are many individuals who decide the match.
Modern football is all about teamwork and tactics. However, having a team with outstanding individuals is a great advantage to success. Man City is a typical example of this.
Before the FA Cup final, many people thought that Coach Ten Hag would instruct his students to "kill" Haaland - the striker with the best form in the Premier League. In fact, the efforts of the Red Devils' defense system were recognized, but that was not enough, when Ilkay Gundogan appeared and became the highlight of the final.
Just 13 seconds after the opening whistle, Man City took the lead. The first scorer for Man City was midfielder Ilkay Gundogan with an impromptu volley from outside the box. The ball went so powerful and dangerous that goalkeeper De Gea could only stand still and watch. This goal helped Gundogan make history as the player who scored the fastest goal in the history of the FA Cup final.
In the second half, Gundogan once again made the Red Devils regret with a dangerous shot that hit the ground from outside the penalty area. This may not be the most beautiful goal, but it is certainly one of the most important goals this season for the German player.
With such an impressive performance, Gundogan deservedly received the title of best player of the match. More importantly, the 32-year-old midfielder is enjoying the most successful days of Man City and it seems very difficult to find a team that can stop coach Pep's team at the present time.
As for English football fans, with a team that always has stars like Man City, coach Pep has many problems to solve for his opponents, especially in the Champions League final against Inter in the coming days.
Confident to reach Champions League final
After winning the FA Cup, Man City has completed the domestic double this season. This is the basis for the English team to aim for a historic treble. All preparations and fans' attention will be focused on Istanbul, to witness the historic season of coach Pep and his team.
In theory, anything can happen in football. However, in terms of power balance, the English team is still considered to be better than the Italian team. It is difficult to find a team worthy of being Man City's opponent at the moment, considering MU's efforts to block the FA Cup final.
Remember, when entering the FA Cup final, MU played with great determination, hoping not to let their neighboring team achieve the same result as they did in the 1999 season (MU is still the only team in England to win the historic treble), but the match showed that Man City was too strong.
There may be some pressure on Pep and his team, as they still don’t have a Champions League title in their trophy room. However, this is the time for Man City to become a great team. If they don’t do this, Pep will have many regrets and he will certainly do everything to become European champions this season.
Man City are on the brink of history and Pep Guardiola has all the best players at his disposal to conquer Champions League success.
