Manchester City in the final, it’s done. Without forcing their talent too much and with a hat-trick signed Riyad Mahrez, Pep Guardiola’s players disposed of Sheffield United (3-0) this Saturday at Wembley, and thus composted their ticket for the FA Cup final. They will face Brighton or… Manchester United, still at Wembley, on June 3.
Stirring before the opener, Riyad Mahrez delivered his team by converting the penalty obtained by Bernardo Silva shortly before the break (41st minute). In the second half, the Algerian folded the case in five minutes by doubling the solo setting (61st), then completing his recital of the day (66th), well served by Grealish.
After three consecutive years in which their road ended in the semi-finals of the FA Cup, City averted fate by offering themselves the opportunity to achieve a hat-trick this season – like Mahrez today – cup, league, league champions.
