FA Cup: We were the better team – Guardiola

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola was snappy after their FA Cup final defeat to Manchester United.

The favourites were beaten 2-1 on the day.

Guardiola later said: “Congratulations to them on a fantastic season.”

“We lost the game. Congratulations to United. It was a tight game.

“It can happen. Many things. At the end they scored two goals and we couldn’t score more.”

Asked if he thought United were the better team, he replied: “No.

“The second half we were there all the game. Manchester United are always a transition team. First half we struggled a bit but second half we were better. In general it as a good performance for a final.”
