Manchester City has produced more polished performances under Pep Guardiola this season.
There have been matches where the team has scored more and created more – yet City’s ability to dominate its opponent, to do enough to win when it matters is as perfect as it gets on a soccer pitch. It is why this team continues to chase history this season.
This Saturday Wembley, next Saturday Istanbul where City could become only the second English club to win all three major trophies in a season if it overcomes Inter Milan in the Champions League final. The other club to have achieved that feat? Manchester United in 1999, which helps explain why this was no ordinary FA Cup final.
Such is the caliber of the team assembled by Guardiola, it is the favorite to win in Istanbul. After defeat United manager Erik ten Hag described Guardiola’s team as the best in the world and few would argue with that claim. The Dutchman told reporters afterwards that he was happy with his side’s performance and that “on another day we could gave won this game.”
It seemed as if the gulf would become evident in the final scoreline of this match when City took a stunning lead, silencing the red half of the stadium on a sunny afternoon in London. City threatened to break loose thereafter – Haaland twice went close, while De Bruyne also took aim at an overworked David De Gea – but in the 33rd minute fortune favored United.
