Guardiola says that Crystal Palace Clash is “largely important” for Manchester City

Pep Guardiola insists that the FA Cup is “very important” for Manchester City, as they are looking to end a disappointing season on a height.

City started the campaign with great hopes for a title in the Premier League in a row in a row and another in depth in the Champions League.

Real Madrid ended its European adventure in the qualifying stage, while they are still not sure of qualifying for the leading club competition in Europe next season.

The FA Cup took additional importance, and Guardiola quickly narrated the narration that tomorrow’s final means more for his opponents Crystal Palace, who never won a big cup.

He said, “Of course we want it. Once we are here, of course, we want the cup. It is very important.”

Pep 💬 We want to win our fans. Men who travel, I want to say thank you for coming to London. Winning is much better than losing, but last year we reached it after they won four consecutive and may not have been perfect. But after one year, we are there again. pic.twitter.com/fjQeo09jc

Guardiola is cautious about the palace of appearance

Victory will not be far from the country, with a club in Palace A at the shadow of Oliver Glasner.

“It is a great team,” added Guardiola. “They had a really good second part of the season. They had more than a year with Oliver (Glasner) working with the same players.

“It is the FA Cup final, it is an honor and privilege. The third time in a row, and we must perform well. We travel to London to win the title.”

The city will hope to perform better than they did 12 months ago when they fell amazing 2-1 to Manchester United.

“Winning is much better than losing. But you are learning from the loss. Last season was special because three or four days before we won the Premier League for the fourth time in a row, so perhaps our mentality was not perfect,” Guardiola said.

“The team did not have bad game, and some decisions went against us. We lost it, in the finals that happen. It was important that we were there and again after one year we are there again.”

Rodri is approaching the long -awaited return

Guardiola said he would use the same team that is struggling for 0-0 drew in Southampton, which was already landing last weekend But had it revealed 2024 Ballon D’or Rodri, it was “much better”.

International Spain is unlikely to play in Wembley, but it has been close to physical fitness since September.
