It is another remarkable achievement from Manchester City during their era of dominance in English football. During the reign of Pep Guardiola, they have shown a level of dominance that has rarely been seen in England. City has won 5 Premier League titles, 4 Carabao Cups, and 2 FA Cups under Guardiola. They have also won the UEFA Champions League and the FIFA Club World Cup under the tutelage of the master manager.

The level of excellence displayed by Manchester City is such that it may not be seen again for some time. It is a testament to the staff and players that they are determined to add to their sizable legacy each and every season. After last seasons historic treble success, there has been no drop in Manchester City’s motivation levels. They are now poised to try and attempt to repeat last seasons heroics with the penultimate stage of the season set to begin.
Speaking post game, Pep Guardiola was proud of the drive, determination, and hunger of his squad. He told the media: “To expect to be coming back from the last international break with two months left and be in contention for all the titles means a lot. People talk about the Premier League and Champions League. But when you win four Carabao Cups in a row and get to six FA Cup semi-finals in a row, this team and this club has something special.”
Pep Guardiola and his team have built something special. Six consecutive FA Cup semi-final appearances is another astounding achievement. It will now sit alongside all of the other remarkable feats performed by this all conquering Manchester City squad.
