Guardiola: It has been a FA Cup final for three consecutive years to demonstrate stability. We want to win a beautiful trophy

May 16th Manchester City coach Guardiola talked about the FA Cup final against Crystal Palace in an interview with the media this week.

"I will say it every time I am in this situation, but I want to say it again: it is a great honor to be able to play at this amazing stadium (Wembley) and have the opportunity to win this beautiful trophy. This is our third consecutive year to reach the FA Cup final, and we are very, very proud of it. In the FA Cup, you will play against all the top teams from the Premier League and the Championship, and you will always have difficult moments in the process. Three consecutive finals demonstrate our stability. This fully reflects the strength of this generation of players and the club itself. There is no doubt that the FA Cup is the most challenging and charming domestic cup in the world."

"We are looking forward to this game and will do our best to bring the trophy back to Manchester. It is a huge challenge against Crystal Palace, and everyone can see how strong they are. I think they have performed well in the semi-finals, and the 3-0 victory over Aston Villa was an incredible result. We respect them and know the difficulties that are coming to England, and we have to be prepared. Crystal Palace has been a tough opponent since I came to England. Under Glasner, they have different qualities, but they are still one of the strongest opponents we may encounter. But for me, as a head coach, this kind of challenge is exactly what I love."
