Manchester City’s pursuit of the Premier League title may have impacted their performance in the FA Cup final against Manchester United, according to former Premier League winner Chris Sutton. Despite a successful season, City fell short in their quest for back-to-back league and FA Cup doubles and were also eliminated from the Champions League semi-finals by Real Madrid.
Sutton expressed his belief that the City players will not be fully satisfied with their season, considering the missed opportunities in the Champions League and FA Cup. Despite dominating possession and creating more chances than United, City struggled to capitalize on their opportunities in the final and ultimately fell short.
The former Premier League champion pointed out that City’s efforts in securing the Premier League title may have taken a toll on their performance in the FA Cup final. While many were impressed by City’s resilience and determination throughout the season, Sutton suggested that this may have contributed to their shortcomings in the crucial matches.
Despite this setback, Sutton believes that City’s season could have been even more successful had they been able to secure victories in key matches such as the FA Cup final. The team will likely be motivated to learn from these experiences and come back even stronger in future seasons.
