Pep Guardiola said winning the FA Cup will not be enough to salvage Manchester City’s troubled season after they reached the final on the day Liverpool ended their reign as Premier League champions. 

Liverpool’s coronation was sealed with a 5-1 rout of Tottenham that finished at almost the exact moment the full-time whistle blew at Wembley to signal City’s 2-0 win over Nottingham Forest in the FA Cup semi-finals. Rico Lewis scored after just 109 seconds before Josko Gvardiol extended City’s advantage in the second half. City will face Crystal Palace in their third successive FA Cup final on May 17.
