Pep Guardiola has stated that Manchester City will not have 'even one beer' to celebrate their 1-0 FA Cup final victory over Chelsea on Saturday, as the Premier League title race remains undecided. The manager also remained coy about his future at the club.
Match Decisive Moment
Antoine Semenyo’s flicked finish in the 72nd minute secured City’s second trophy of the season at Wembley, following their Carabao Cup win over Arsenal in March. Despite the triumph, Guardiola emphasized the need to focus on the upcoming league matches.
Celebration Plans Postponed
'Home [now] – not even one beer,' Guardiola said. 'Next Monday after Aston Villa, we’re going to celebrate it with the women’s team. The club said that to me [with] some parade in Manchester because we must celebrate with both teams.'
He added, 'There is no time [to celebrate]. Chelsea had seven days to prepare for the final, we had three days and yesterday [Friday] was a nightmare. We spent six hours from the city to here. The trains are a little bit of a problem in this country.'
Title Race Remains Priority
Guardiola’s comments underscore the intense schedule and the importance of the remaining league games. City are still in contention for the Premier League title, with a crucial match against Aston Villa looming. The manager’s future at the club also remains a topic of speculation, though he offered no clear indication of his plans.
This victory adds to City’s successful season, but Guardiola insists the focus must remain on the pitch until the title is decided.
