After a first half in which Manchester City seemed closer to scoring than United, it was Ten Hag’s men who had the better of the chances. Amad Diallo Overflowing down the right flank would be a headache for Gvardiol and Dias who would not be able to stop him. The best chance for City fell to McAtee, after a loss in the United defence, who crashed it against the post.
In the second half, the Red Devils continued to add chances. A goalpost Rashford or an offside goal Bruno Fernandes were the clearest warnings before the goal of GarnachoThe winger finished off a pass from the Portuguese, but not before leaving two defenders behind with two breaks.
Bernardo Silva would be City’s hero with a header in the 89th minute after a cross from Bobb and would send the match to penalties. Precisely, the attacking midfielder would be the one who would miss the penalty, but they would later come back with a mistake from Evans and another from Sancho. First title for City and for Guardiola in 24/25.
