"I had a feeling last season against Palace and two seasons before against United that we were better than today, but in these type of games the margins were so minor. The decisions always make the difference and now I'm sitting here as the winner. Arsenal, who host Burnley on Monday, are on 79 points, two points ahead of City, who host Villa on the final Sunday, with the leaders travelling to Crystal Palace. Amid questions about whether or not City overhaul Arsenal to claim the seventh title of Guardiola's tenure, there is growing expectation he will leave this summer."
Manchester City won the FA Cup final 1-0 against Chelsea at Wembley, with a 72nd-minute backheel by Antoine Semenyo. Guardiola said there would be no celebrations, including no beer, because the team must keep winning to remain in the Premier League title race. He noted the short preparation time for the final and travel difficulties, describing Friday as a nightmare. He indicated celebrations would come later, including with the women’s team and a planned club celebration after the final league matches. City have 79 points, two behind Arsenal, with remaining fixtures affecting the title outcome. Guardiola gave an unclear response about his future, linking it to when the “fire” decreases. He also reflected on how small margins and officiating decisions have mattered in past finals.
