Champagne will be falling from the skies of Manchester rather than rain after Manchester City's Champions League victory, according to celebrity fan Noel Gallagher.The former Oasis guitarist watched the 1-0 win over Inter Milan with fellow fans in a bar in San Diego, California, where he was on tour his brother Liam having previously tweeted the volatile band would reform if City completed the third leg of their trophy treble.

A nervy and exciting match as Manchester City have claimed the FA Cup after a 2-1 win over city rivals Manchester United.The team played well and held on as Ilkay Gundogan continues his inspired form.Pep Guardiola has to be happy as his team is one final away from the historic treble.On to the reaction-
Pep Guardiola Reaction
"I like this competition, the FA Cup.

Pep Guardiola is unsure on the severity of Erling Haaland's injury ahead of Manchester City's crucial clash with Arsenal.City got back to winning ways with a 3-1 victory over Aston Villa at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday.With Arsenal having dropped points against Brentford on Saturday, a win at Emirates Stadium on Wednesday would see City move top of the Premier League, albeit the Gunners would still have a game in hand.

The World Cup has been the centre of attention since the competition kicked off on November 20th.With so many clubs represented at the tournament, Manchester City players have also filed out in their national colours.As is usually the case there have been some shock results.Julian Alvarez's Argentina lost 2-1 to Saudi Arabia.

Ratings for Manchester United in the FA Cup Final loss to Manchester City.David De Gea - 4 Could he have done more for both goals?I'm not sure about the first one but I think he could've done more for the second.Aaron Wan-Bissaka - 8 Showed incredible spirit all game and won us a penalty.Raphael Varane - 6 Both goals were directed in his path.

De Gea's kicking in Saturday's FA Cup final was often imprecise, and he made a blunder early in the second half that ultimately allowed Ilkay Gundogan to seal a brace, handing Manchester City the trophy at United's expense.It remains unclear whether De Gea will still be United's No1 next season, with the club monitoring various goalkeepers including Brentford's David Raya.

Man United have revived their interest in Jude Bellingham.Manchester United Football Club are slowly transitioning their squad into one that fits the Erik ten Hag style of play.This will take time.Several additions were made over the summer.All of whom have made a positive early impression.Let's hope that mantra continues going forward.

De Gea's performances have again come under the spotlight amid ongoing contract talks with the club, most recently in the FA Cup final as Ilkay Gundogan scored two volleys as Manchester City won 2-1 at Wembley.The goalkeeper's current contract is set to expire at the end of the month, and he is expected to sign an extension, but the Porto youngster has reportedly been identified as a long-term replacement.

The club posted videos of the squad posing for pictures with the 76-year-old rock star on the tarmac late on Saturday.City manager Pep Guardiola said ahead of the final, which City won 2-1 against Manchester United, he had attended Sir Elton's Manchester concert last week as he sought to take his mind off a defining period in the club's history.

Manchester United's 2022/23 season is over after a frustrating loss to Manchester City in the FA Cup Final.The Noisy Neighbors came away with a 2-1 victory thanks to a pair of goals from distance from Ilkay Gundogan, with the first being a sensational volley just 13 seconds after kickoff.They are now 2⁄ 3 of the way to completing a treble, something only Manchester United have done before in English football, and United fans will surely be Internazionale fans for the next week ahead of the UEFA Champions League final.

Manchester City saw a silky performance from Ilkay Gundogan and goal #36 by Erling Haaland in the Premier League as they beat Everton 3-0.The win paired with the Arsenal result right after leaves them two points from winning the Premier League!We move on to the quotes!Pep Guardiola Reaction It's a dream come true being here, the boss stressed after what was our 11th straight league win.

Ilkay Gundogan has rarely been the centre of attention among Manchester City's vast array of stars, but once again the unassuming leader is playing a pivotal role in the run-in.It was his winning goal that led City to the title on the final day last season, hitting back from 2-0 down against Aston Villa to win 3-2 and spark celebratory scenes at Etihad Stadium.

Man City's search for a historic treble has entered crunch time, but this is when Pep Guardiola's side typically perform at their apex.The Citizens haven't tasted defeat since February, and their imperious form has thrust them into pole position to secure their third-straight Premier League title after Arsenal led the way for so long.

M anchester City are two-thirds of the way to achieving only the second Treble in English football history, after defeating rivals Manchester United in the FA Cup final at Wembley.They could not have wished for a better start than when Ilkay Gundogan fired home the opener after just 13 seconds with a bullet volley for the fastest-ever FA Cup final goal.

Pep Guardiola has some starting XI decisions to make when Manchester City travel to Merseyside to face Everton on Sunday.The Citizens took a 1-1 draw from their first leg with Real Madrid in the Champions League semi-finals but have Premier League duties to worry about before the return fixture next week.

Pep Guardiola has decided to make six changes to his Man City side from the team that played against Leeds United, ahead of their Champions League semi-final first-leg clash against Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu.The holders will surely fancy their chances of getting a result again in a tournament that is becoming one that they're beginning to dominate.

Although some might have felt that Manchester City could face a potential Champions League banana skin on Tuesday night, Pep Guardiola's side punched their quarter-final ticket with a remarkable 7-0 romp against RB Leipzig.While the Premier League giants might have been forced to settle for a 1-1 draw in their first-leg showdown out in Germany on February 22nd, City certainly came flying out of the traps here.

It's your Manchester City headline roundup from Sky Blue News!We'll be on a Monday, Wednesday, and Friday schedule during the World Cup Break.Here's your Monday dose of all the latest.Gundogan had a chance to put City ahead but was unable to get the ball out from underneath his feet.As the Blues pushed further for a winner they would end up being caught by a suckerpunch on the counter deep into second half stoppage time.

Erling Haaland silenced his critics by netting a hat trick as Manchester City claimed a comfortable 3-0 win over Wolves on Sunday at the Etihad.The forward broke the deadlock just before half time connecting with a cross from midfielder Kevin De Bruyne to head the ball in, before stepping up to double the home side's lead with a penalty in the 50th minute after Ilkay Gundogan was tripped by Ruben Neves.

Arsenal are reportedly alongside Barcelona as potential transfer suitors for Manchester City midfielder Ilkay Gundogan as he nears the end of his contract at the Etihad Stadium.The Germany international has been in outstanding form for Man City again this season, but it's not yet clear what the future holds for him, with Arsenal possibly set to raid their title rivals again.

Manchester City have not given up hope of agreeing a new contract with Ilkay Gundogan and have not been informed that he intends to leave this summer, sources have told ESPN.Gundogan's deal is set to expire in June and if fresh terms are not agreed, the Germany international will leave the Etihad on a free transfer.

Manchester City midfielder Ilkay Gundogan wants to focus on his football with the club amidst recent talk of him leaving for Barcelona.Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano posted on Twitter that Gundogan won't make his intentions known at the moment as City look to win the Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League this season.

Manchester City hold all the cards in their hands as the draw at Real Madrid leaves the second leg at The Etihad as the deciding factor.Pep Guardiola will be wise to change a few things, not radically, but to give his side a really good chance to win.Let's talk two things they can add:
Pace and more Pace Watching the first leg, the control lineup did what it was supposed to, so with Pep Guardiola tweaking it a bit the inclusion of Phil Foden, Riyad Mahrez or Julian Alvarez.

Welcome to your quick recap.Manchester City win a hugely important match as the team was just in excellent form.City with Pep at the helm had nearly a perfect game.One that saw Ilkay Gundogan and Erling Haaland play a really strong match.What can you say about the team?The front four and backline were quite good in this one.

Manchester City put their supporters through hell before securing a vital three points as the blues moved clear of Arsenal at the top of the Premier League table.A first-half brace by Ilkay Gundogan looked like it would be enough to see the blues home, but an 85th-minute goal by Rodrigo, moments after City's German star missed a penalty, had the blues on the edge of their seats for the remainder of the match.

Manchester City superstar Erling Haaland returns to his birthplace for an English Premier League match against Leeds United on Wednesday at Elland Road.Haaland's father played for the Peacocks, and he was born in Leeds before moving to his family's native Norway at age 3. Now he is one of the best players in the Premier League and aims to lead Manchester City (10-2-2) to another league title.

Welcome to your quick recap.Manchester City win a hugely important match as the team was just in excellent form.City with Pep at the helm had nearly a perfect game.One that saw Julian Alvarez and Erling Haaland play a really strong match.

Erling Haaland continued his amazing debut season by hitting five goals as Manchester City thumped RB Leipzig at the Etihad Stadium.The Norwegian striker hit his fifth hattrick of the season, then added two more after the break as City booked their place in the last eight.Ilkay Gundogan and a late strike by Kevin de Bruyne completed the rout as City joined Chelsea, Benfica and Bayern Munich, as well as the two Milan clubs in the quarter-final.

Welcome to your quick recap.Manchester City win a hugely important match as the team was just in excellent form.City and with Pep at the helm had nearly a perfect game.

Manchester United's Marcus Rashford, 25, has been named Premier League Player of the Month for the third time this season, equalling a record held by Liverpool's Mohamed Salah.Salah set the bar for most Player of the Month awards in a single season in 2017-18.Rashford won the award in September, January and February, scoring four goals in five games last month.

Manchester City must quickly refocus following a potentially disastrous 1-1 draw with Nottingham Forest at the weekend, with attention now turning to RB Leipzig and the Champions League.European glory remains the elusive holy grail for City and Pep Guardiola, with the boss now in his 12th year since last lifting the famous Champions League trophy with Barcelona.

Manchester City 's England stars were instrumental as the Three Lions progressed to the knock-out stage of the World Cup in Qatar.Phil Foden was on target for his third England goal, while Kalvin Phillips' second-half appearance set up the third.Manager Gareth Southgate came under fire for failing to play Foden in the draw against the United States, with the England boss claiming he would have had to play the City man in an unfamiliar position.

Manchester City will have a total of 16 players on the rosters for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar this winter.That marks the largest contribution by any club, Today, let's take a look at who is on the teams and even make some predictions.Argentina, Julian Alvarez A nice reward for the young star.He will look to keep the friends of Messi healthy and be counted upon as a real super sub and could even start a game.

Riyad Mahrez hit another brace as Manchester City recovered from two goals down to beat Spurs in a lively encounter at the Etihad Stadium.The visitors scored two goals in two minutes at the end of the first half to send Spurs, who had been outclassed all through the half, into the break with a two-goal cushion.

Phil Foden was a noticeable absentee from Manchester City's squad to face Wolves, while Kevin De Bruyne returned to the starting line-up.England midfielder Foden was described as "not fully fit" by several British journalists, with boss Pep Guardiola sure to be asked for further clarification.

Pep Guardiola made it clear he is not happy with Manchester City's schedule after the World Cup.City defeated Girona 2-0 in a friendly on Saturday, with Kevin De Bruyne and Erling Haaland getting the goals.The pair were two of four outfield players among City's first-team regulars, along with Riyad Mahrez and Ilkay Gundogan, to have started the match.

DOHA, Qatar -- This felt, for stretches, like a Champions League group stage game between potential tournament winners.You prod, you push, but, ultimately, you err on the side of caution because you know that you'll live to fight another day.

Football never ceases to surprise.Shocks are very much a part of the game and the ongoing World Cup is having its fair share.The football world was shaken when Saudi Arabia beat Argentina with Lionel Messi and all 2-1 in their opening match on Tuesday.But Japan served another favorite Germany, the same cold meal.

Germany are one of the most successful countries in the history of the World Cup.They have competed at all but two World Cups over the last 92 years, opting out of the very first tournament in 1930 like most European nations.They were later banned from competing in the qualifiers for the 1950 finals in the wake of the Second World War.

Mario Gotze has returned to the Germany squad for the World Cup, with Youssoufa Moukoko and Niclas Fullkrug also included.Gotze, scorer of the winning goal in the 2014 final against Argentina, has not played for the national side since 2017 but has earned a fresh opportunity following his impressive form since moving to Eintracht Frankfurt last year.

Manchester City secured the victory despite being down to 10 men against Fulham.Sky Blue News is here to catch you up on all the latest.Manchester City returned back to the Premier League after they came out victorious against Fulham in the last minute of the game thanks to an Erling Haaland penalty.

Erling Haaland's amazing goalscoring feats this season have led some to believe he is not actually human but even he felt the pressure of having to convert an injury-time penalty to give Manchester City victory over Fulham.The 22-year-old Norwegian, who just about beat Bernd Leno with his 95th-minute spot-kick to send his side top of the Premier League and spark wild celebrations at Etihad Stadium, admitted to Sky Sports afterwards: "I was nervous - it was one of the most nervous moments of my life.

Manchester City fear Ilkay Gundogan will leave the club on a free transfer next summer.The Germany midfielder, 32, is yet to agree a new contract, with his current deal expiring in June.Manchester United want to secure Marcus Rashford's future at Old Trafford before the end of the year to fend off interest.

With a draw against Borussia Dortmund, Manchester City have claimed the top spot in UEFA Champions League Group G. Sky Blue News has the latest reaction from City's 0-0 draw to BVB.Jack breaks down how City have claimed the top spot.Pep Guardiola's side are three points ahead of Dortmund with one match remaining, but the head-to-head record after our September victory over the German club ensures we cannot be overtaken.

Today it's 11th v 2nd, but it's still the best game in English football, maybe world football.Liverpool's peculiar start to the season gives today's game a different hue.It's less than three months since Liverpool overpowered City in the Community Shield and Haaland had a minor stinker.City have a desperate record at Anfield, with just one win since 2003.
