Manchester City suffered a disappointing defeat in the FA Cup final against their arch-rivals Manchester United, leaving boss Pep Guardiola in a snappy mood. The favourites were left stunned as they were beaten 2-1 on the day.
After the match, Guardiola begrudgingly congratulated United on their fantastic season. He acknowledged the tight nature of the game, stating, “We lost the game. Congratulations to United. It was a tight game. It can happen. Many things. At the end they scored two goals and we couldn’t score more.”
When asked if he believed United were the better team, Guardiola quickly dismissed the notion, saying, “No. The second half we were there all the game. Manchester United are always a transition team. First half we struggled a bit but second half we were better. In general, it was a good performance for a final.”
