Pep Guardiola also appeared before the match and described this seson as “the toughest season of my career” due to the standards City have set in recent seasons.
He said: “I have been here more than 20 times: semi-finals, finals, Carabao Cup, and FA Cup. The first time is always the emotion, but we prefer to be here than at home.
“It has been a tough season for one reason because our standard was so unbelievably high.
“We are in the final of the FA Cup – we are fighting to play for the Champions League. We will see what happens.
“Hopefully, we can show our best and lift the second title of the season and fight to qualify for the Champions League next season.
“We tried to create as a team, really good in transitions, really good in set-pieces. For that, the only way to break it up is talent.”
