Yesterday saw Manchester City reach a record fourth consecutive FA Cup final after a 2-1 victory over Southampton at Wembley Stadium.
We’re bringing you the latest reaction and updates after Saturday’s dramatic win, as well as all the other City news from today.
Manchester City star Tijjani Reijnders attracting interest
With his playing time severely reduced in the latter half of the season, Reijnders leaving City has become more of a possibility.
Other clubs are now monitoring his situation, with Italian outlet Calcio Mercato reporting that the player is attracting major interest.
City are said to be considering the midfielder’s future, with an exit not ruled out. The club will hope to recoup a significant portion of the £47m fee they paid to Milan to bring Reijnders to the club.
Man City linked with Azzedine Ounahi
After a breakthrough season and impressive performance at the 2022 World Cup, Moroccan international Ounahi moved from SCO Angers to Marseille.
Despite a tough time and unsuccessful loan spell with Greek side Panathinaikos, he has since moved to Girona and reignited his career.
The defensive midfielder has five goals and three assists in just 19 La Liga matches this season, and has now been linked with a move to City.
Ange Postecoglou praises ‘relentless’ Pep Guardiola
Speaking after the game, ex-Spurs boss Postecoglou cited Guardiola’s ‘drive’ and his ‘relentless’ nature as setting him apart from other coaches.
The Australian spoke TNT Sports: “I just think there’s a drive inside him that not only very few people have. That’s the reason he’s above everyone else.
“It’s not just about the coaching, it’s not just about the tactical expertise he has and the challenges he puts [to the players]. He’s obviously created an environment where he’s just relentless in this pursuit of excellence.
“The FA Cup is actually harder, because you only need one off day in any knockout competition, and you miss out. So he’s again shown why he’s the best and that transfers through to his team.
Nico Gonzalez the hero for Manchester City
Speaking after scoring the winner, Gonzalez said he ‘gave it everything’ with his long-range effort, and talked about the incredible feeling of scoring at Wembley.
He told BBC Match of the Day: “I was waiting for the chance, and I had it, so I gave it everything, I shot with everything… and it went in!”
“It’s been a really important week, it’s been amazing, three wins, and we are alive in the league which was something that maybe one month ago we didn’t think we would arrive here with this chance. But it’s amazing to arrive in another final – this is my second.”
