Pep Guardiola's side won their second trophy of the season
Manchester City are FA Cup champions after beating Manchester United 2-1 in the final and lifted their second trophy of the season Saturday after winning the 2022-23 Premier League. Pep Guardiola's side will also have the chance to win their third trophy of the season next week as they will face Inter in the Champions League final at the Atatürk Olympic Stadium of Istanbul. If they win that final as well, City will win all three major competitions they played this year, taking home the treble, something Manchester United have only done back in 1999.
It took only 12 seconds for Ilkay Gundogan to score the opening goal of the final, marking the fastest goal ever in the game's history. The midfielder scored right after the kickoff on the first chance for Pep Guardiola's men as Kevin De Bruyne recovered a ball between the lines and Gundogan volleyed home with incredible power and precision.
The game seemed to go in one direction, but City failed to scored a second before Manchester United reacted thanks to the handball of Jack Grealish that gave Bruno Fernandes the chance to equalize with a penalty that was perfectly taken. The teams went into the dressing room 1-1.
