Manchester City’s Devastating Defeat at Wembley: Facing the End of their Unbeaten Run and Erling Haaland’s Struggles

Manchester City faced a devastating defeat at Wembley against Manchester United in the FA Cup final, marking only the second time they have failed to be crowned champions in nine major finals under Pep Guardiola. This loss ended their unbeaten run that had lasted since last December, making it the second longest streak for a top-flight team in all competitions (35 games before today).

City became the first holders of the FA Cup to finish as runners-up the following campaign since Manchester United in 2004-05. Rodri, who played his 50th game for Manchester City in all competitions this season, suffered his first defeat of the campaign after winning 38 games, drawing 11, and losing one. This loss against Manchester United ended his 74-game unbeaten streak across all competitions, dating back to February 2023 against Spurs.

Erling Haaland has struggled to score in any of his four appearances for Manchester City at Wembley Stadium, managing just six shots and accumulating a total xG of 1.17. These key stats highlight the challenges and accomplishments that Manchester City faced in the FA Cup final. Despite this setback, City remains determined to continue their quest for glory and success on the pitch.
