‘Not even one beer’: Guardiola curbs City’s FA Cup celebrations with title to play for – video | FA Cup
Pep Guardiola said Manchester City would not have ‘even one beer’ to celebrate Saturday’s 1-0 FA Cup final triumph over Chelsea due to the title race, though the manager was coy regarding his future.
Antoine Semenyo’s 72nd-minute flicked finish gave City a second trophy of the season at Wembley following March’s Carabao Cup win over Arsenal.
‘Home (now) – not even one beer,’ he 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.
‘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.’
