Following a 1-0 win at Wembley, Guardiola declared: "Not even one beer. Next Monday, after Aston Villa at home (last Premier League game of the season), we will celebrate. We will have a parade." The City boss emphasized the need to prepare for upcoming matches against Bournemouth and Aston Villa.
Bernardo Silva's Final Dream
Bernardo Silva, who captained City to victory, expressed his desire to secure the Premier League title. "Hopefully, we can still have a small dream that we can fight for the Premier League," he said. Silva, who lifted the trophy with John Stones, acknowledged this is his last season at the club. "It is just special for me, being my last season to give them another trophy. Hopefully, not the last one."
Match Details
Antoine Semenyo scored the decisive goal in the second half, describing it as a "good finish." He added, "I have never competed for trophies like this before, so everything is new to me. Hopefully, we can finish the job off." City are two points behind Arsenal with two games remaining.
Guardiola's Future
Silva praised Guardiola, saying, "He changed the way I see football. 80% of my career was with him as my manager." Guardiola hinted he would stay for the final year of his contract, stating, "The moment the fire decreases, then we will go home."
