Pep Guardiola expressed his disappointment with Manchester City's current season, stating that even winning the FA Cup would not salvage it. After a 3-1 victory over Plymouth Argyle, which secured their place in the FA Cup quarterfinals, Guardiola reflected on a disappointing Premier League title race and an early Champions League exit. He highlighted the team's struggle, noting they had failed to qualify for the knockout stages of the Champions League for the first time, and acknowledged their slim chances of winning the league. Young player Nico O'Reilly shone by scoring two goals in the match.
"It's better to win the treble or quadruple, come on. This season, especially in two competitions, we've not been good. And that's the reality."
"We didn't qualify for the first time [for the last-16] of the Champions League since we are here, and in the Premier League with 13, 14, 15 games left we have no chance of winning [the title]."
