Pep Guardiola, Manchester City director, attributed the “Time Lighting” of Brigadier General in the FA Cup final in the year 2025 to the goalkeeper who was British-and said that Omar Marmoush’s decision had obtained the penalty of Citizens in their defeat 1-0 between New Kumer and Halland’s usual Tuker.

Henderson, who resulted in Marmush’s kick in the first half shortly after avoiding the red card to deal with the ball outside the penalty area, and a fine of rescue before it appears to engage in an oral dispute with Guardiola after the full wool in the first Triumph Palace.

“Listen, defend his position and we defend our position,” said Guardiola, who will end from a season without a large cup for the first time since his first campaign in the club in 2016/2017. “It is British. I’m sorry – everyone can do what they want.

“[Players] Decide [who will take penalties] On the field. I did not talk to them. That moment [about] How do they feel. They saw Omar ready to take it. I think Omar took a lot of time with the ball … the goalkeeper has saved a good. “

FA Cup Final 2025: Guardiola congratulate Palace

Halland, who missed three of the seven penalty kicks in all competitions in 2024/25 including one in Bournemouth in the quarter -finals, seemed to decide against seizing the opportunity, kissing the ball and head of Marmush while handing the opportunity to the Egyptian striker.

Although it is unclear whether City had arranged before the match that Halland should rely on the duties, it seemed that there was less confusion about Hinderson’s awareness when he had ridiculed the ball outside the box to stop the winner of the Golden Premier League award twice.

Guardiola Kevin de Bruyne and Bernardo Silva used two midfield players because Matteo Kovacic “did not feel satisfied” and said that City “played much better” than they did in their victory at home 5-2 over the palace in the Premier League last month and defeat 2-1 against Manchester United in the final of last year.

City ended with more than 78 % of possession, six of the eight attempts on the goal between the teams and 23 of the thirty efforts ever, although Palace may have scored again when Monoz’s goal was excluded in the second half because hexagon was sneaking.

There was a sense of despair to enter Olodio Claudio Eshvirieri, 19, instead of Marmush 14 minutes of time, although Argentina Yuno International was one of the players who were banned inside the box during the closing stages.

“I want to be honest, it was not a bad decision the way he played and the opportunities he had. He had three opportunities in small spaces.

“I have seen him in training sessions. It is really moving, well in small spaces and is really creative in it. You have to find something in these types of games, wanting and finding Twos.

“Crystal Palace Love [defending] He crosses. It is an intelligent and accurate habit. We had opportunities, but unfortunately we could not register. “
