"Except the first 15 or 20 minutes that always happens [against Newcastle] we could not control, but after we were incredible. I'm really pleased with how we played, how we behaved, offensively, defensively. It's top. Eight times in a row in the quarterfinals. It's many years that we are there and that is so good."
"City have now won 19 of their last 21 FA Cup ties with the only two defeats in that period coming in the 2024 and 2025 finals. When you see what their squad is capable of on nights like this, you wouldn't bet against them reaching Wembley for the third season in a row."
Manchester City secured a 3-1 victory over Newcastle United in the FA Cup fifth round despite making ten lineup changes and leaving Erling Haaland at home. After falling behind early, City equalized through Savinho just before halftime, then dominated the second half with goals from Omar Marmoush and Savinho to advance to the quarterfinals. This marks City's eighth consecutive quarterfinal appearance in the FA Cup. Manager Pep Guardiola praised his team's performance after a difficult opening period, noting they controlled the match impressively following the halftime equalizer. City has won 19 of their last 21 FA Cup matches, with only two defeats occurring in the 2024 and 2025 finals.
