In a season plagued by uncharacteristic setbacks, Manchester City clawed their way to redemption with a gripping 2-0 victory over Nottingham Forest in the FA Cup semi-finals! Despite being dethroned as Premier League champs earlier that day, Pep Guardiola’s squad showed resilience at Wembley, securing a third consecutive FA Cup final spot. Young star Rico Lewis fired an early opener (
minute 2!), while Josko Gvardiol’s header sealed the deal post-halftime.
Forest fought valiantly, hitting the woodwork *three times* , but City’s defense held firm. Now, all eyes turn to May 17, where they’ll face Crystal Palace in the final. A trophy could soften the blow of a turbulent season, but as Guardiola bluntly admitted: ‘The season has not been good… but we want to finish strong.’
Will the FA Cup save their pride? Stay tuned!
