Manchester City trembles for the FA Cup victory-Guardiola cheers!
With a spectacular 2-1 win over the third division club Leyton Orient, Manchester City has almost reached the next round in the FA Cup. However, the starting coach Pep Guardiola was able to experience a shock moment when the City goalie Ortega unhappily fell into his own goal in the 16th minute. But the "Skyblues" did not give up: in the 56th minute the Khusanov, which was substituted at halftime, equalized and in the 79th minute de Bruyne ensured the redeeming 2: 1 and thus prevented a possible embarrassment against the outsider from London, as reported Laola1.at.
After this nerve-wracking game, the team was received by the music legend Elton John after the FA Cup victory at the Grand Finale in Wembley at Manchester Airport. The legendary singer, even a big Manchester City fan, cheerfully taught his song "Your Song", while the players, including Guardiola, sang along enthusiastically. He enjoyed the cheering fans and did not miss the opportunity to hug the players. In an Instagram contribution, he shared his joy about meeting with the team and expressed his hopes for a possible treble, as Sky.com reported.
With this FA-Cup victory, Manchester City consolidated his right to a possible historical triple dreams, while preparing for the Champions League final against Inter Milan. Captain Ilkay Gundogan previously secured the quick hit in the FA Cup final, which made it the fastest goal to achieve the competition in the history of the competition. The team could catapult the upcoming Champions League final in Istanbul in the annals of football by imitating Manchester United's achievement in 1999.
