FA Cup: How Crystal Palace and Manchester City made the final embroidery look easy

After two quite one-sided semifinals Fa Cup, Manchester City will face a crystal palace in the Fa Cup final at Wembley 17. May.

It’s the third time that Eagles have done all the way to the event from the exhibition and, by accident, the third time to face the team from the team Manchester in their search for a maiden title.

United fell them twice in 1990. and 2016, while the city was standing on the way to make it unwanted high.

Routine victory for the crystal palace over Aston Villa

The south londonders were the first to request their place in the final after providing a routine victory on the Aston Villa page that runs out of money at the wrong season.

The fourth pure sheet in the Pet Fa Cup match for the palace is most often any side in this season this season, and the goals in all five matches are more than any other team 2024/25.

An interesting fact from the game is that Villa Unai Emery dominated a large extent in possession of the ball – 70.2% in the palace of 29.8% – and were also much more accurately on the ball (86.1%).

Their 471 precision passages are far from 173 eagles, and 36 touches in the palace box, as well as 16 recordings to indicate the Model, but they were simply unable to make in an attack in the entire match thanks to the way the glasner was expelled.

Winning possession in the last third third only once in 90 minutes and only two intercepts of 10 and 10 also neatly the lack of contributions from the villa.

Forest crashed from his step

Something that is binding for IRK EMERY, a manager who has a great stock in providing his teams are not enamored during the game, the fact is that four of his players (Lucas ragne, Pau Torres, John Mcginn and Morgan Rogers) He didn’t try any fighting in the whole moment that they were on the ground.

With a place in the coffin for a glass in question, it is unforgivable.

Sunday, Nuno Espirito Santo’s Nottingham forest were completely demolished from their step thanks a Rico Lewis Aim for Man City in the second minute.

In that, Lewis (20y 157d) became the youngest goal player for a city in Wembley since Steve Mackenzie in May 1981. (19y 172d in Fa Cup finals vs Tottenham).

Previously against large teams this season in the Prime League, including during the recent victory 1-0 Pep GuardiolaIt is sideways on the city ground, the forest soaked the pressure and hit opposition on a break.

That early goal meant any such concept, the tricky trees returned to the guy who went straight out the window.

Chris Wood Allow not to match the forest

Hitting wooden works three times may indicate that the medium-sized made a run in the game and were only happiness on the day. The latter is certainly true, but he was a city that were pleasant all over.

634 passages were more than a double forest exit, and the possession of 67% speaks his own story.

When Chris Wood – so often a hero for his side – he let them go bad. So badly in fact that he had no hit, there is no touch inside the city box and no third entries.

Anthony LunaThe substitution offered a short hope for the forest and did not miss out of a few meters in a minute after arriving, maybe it was a different game. That shot was his only in the second half, however, and one of only two touches had in the city box.

At least captains, Morgan Gibbs-White Put in a shift, its three shots and four touches in the opposition box are far exceeding the production of any teammate.

Compare in the opposites with that Omar marmoush10 minutes in a forest box and then nine from Sanik and three of the full back Nico O’reilly and pictures of the image itself.

Man City dominant in all areas

From those who started the game, O’Reilly was 86.8% Completed statistics was the lowest city external players, while only four forests managed a better result.

Maybe looking in the way a battleship would be fixed during the game we get and answer why the forest was a completely moribund as an attack force.

Although Elliot Anderson, Nicolas Dominguez And Gibbs-White were all in double data in terms of the duels that challenged, and the former couple won six of them, could not use.

O’reilly and Mateo KovačićThe 13 Duel attempt was a combined majority from both teams, while Matheus Nunes weighed with 10 and every other bar city player If gvvioool He was involved at least twice.

For the forest and villa, they will undoubtedly look at these games such as missed actual possibilities, and they will have to pick up in the last four league games in the season to play in Villa Park and the city’s next season to play in Villa Park.
