Their victory over Manchester United in the FA Cup is a significant milestone in their journey

In a thrilling match, Manchester City emerged victorious over Manchester United in the FA Cup, keeping their hopes alive for an unprecedented "treble" title. The game showcased intense competition and showcased the skill and determination of both teams.

Manchester City's relentless attack and strategic gameplay proved to be the deciding factor in their victory. They demonstrated exceptional teamwork and clinical finishing, which ultimately led to their triumph. The players showcased their talent and showcased why they are one of the top teams in English football.

The win in the FA Cup adds to Manchester City's already impressive season, as they continue their pursuit of three major titles. Having already secured the Premier League title and reached the final of the UEFA Champions League, they are now well on their way to achieving an extraordinary treble.

The historic feat of winning the Premier League, FA Cup, and Champions League in a single season has only been achieved by a select few teams in the past. Manchester City's performance throughout the season has put them in a strong position to join this elite group.

Their victory over Manchester United in the FA Cup is a significant milestone in their journey towards this remarkable achievement. The team and their fans will be filled with excitement and anticipation as they look forward to the upcoming matches and the opportunity to etch their names in football history.

However, it's important to note that in the ever-unpredictable world of football, anything can happen. The remaining matches will present tough challenges, and Manchester City will need to maintain their focus, consistency, and determination to successfully complete their quest for the treble.Because of the quality of the team Guardiola put together, it is the favourite to win in Istanbul. Few would dispute United manager Erik ten Hag's assessment that Guardiola's team was the finest in the world after the team lost.

The only team that can now prevent City from attaining sporting immortality is Inter Milan, making this setback for United and its supporters particularly sour.

"Now we can talk about the treble," Guardiola said to reporters following the game.

United was a formidable opponent, according to Guardiola, who had warned before the game that the club's reputation was on the line and that prior successes needed to be preserved. Although United was perhaps the most merciless trophy accumulator in English football, thriving in its heydays under When City gained a spectacular lead, putting the red half of the stadium in complete silence on a sunny afternoon in London, it appeared as though the gap would become clear in the final score of this game.

When City captain Gündoan scored a goal for his team with a beautiful volley from outside the box with less than a minute remaining in the game, the national anthem's noises had not yet completely faded into the background.Erling Haaland diverted a long kick from custodian Stefan Ortega to Kevin de Bruyne to start the move. Before United's defence could adjust, the Belgian found Gündoan, and the ball was in the goal.

After that, City threatened to score; Haaland twice came near, and De Bruyne also fired at a fatigued David de Gea; however, luck turned in United's favour in the 33rd minute.

Jack Grealish was found to have handled the ball in the penalty area by the Video Assistant Referee (VAR), which allowed Bruno Fernandes to calmly side-foot the ball into the goal to tie the game that had been looking to go one way.
