Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has attributed Dean Henderson’s “ time ” to the 2025 Cup final, partly the British goalkeeper, and said that the decision for Omar Marmoush received the sentence of Cityzens in the defeat of the 1-0 between the newcomer and the regular consumer of Haaland.
Henderson, who turned the first place in Marmoush, shortly after being lucky to avoid a red card to handle the ball outside his penalty area, made a series of savings until before it looks like a verbal disagreement with Guardiola after the triumph of a major time in the palace.
“Listen, defend his position and defend our position,” said Guardiola, who will end a season without a major trophy for the first time since his first campaign at the club in 2016/17. “It’s British. Sorry, everyone can do what they want.
“(The players) decide (who will be penalized) on the pitch. I did not talk to them. That moment is (about) as they feel. They saw that Omar was ready to take it.
Haaland, who has lost three of his seven penalties in all competitions in 2024/25, including a to Bournemouth In the quarterfinals, it seemed to decide against the use, kissing the ball and the head of Marmoush while delivering the opportunity to the striker of Egypt.
Although it was unclear if City had organized before the game for Haaland to be left out of the functions, there seemed to be less confusion about Henderson’s indiscretion when he had ruined the ball outside the box to stop twice Premier League Breaking Through’s Golden Boot winner, but a review of the video assistant (VAR) referee did not end with any action.
“Do not ask me about the VAR or the referee (Stuart Attwell),” said Guardiola. “We didn’t lose because Henderson had time.
“It’s a matter of rhythm. All fans are there to see the 22 players play. When you see Barcelona now, they are” attacking, attacking, attacking, attacking “and the other team is (too). It is beautiful.

“But I understand Henderson’s position: It’s a question for the referee. I understand when (late). But I don’t feel. My team plays the game as people deserve to see it.
“Saying this, congratulations to Henderson and Crystal Palace, because they really defended themselves, in the end and they were able to score a goal.”
In a final of action, City, the dominant English football team between 2017 and 2024, entering its third final of the FA CUP, began with a large amount of possession and traits in the goal, Haaland among the refused players by excellent savings by Henderson.
Palace spent much of the game under pressure, but marked with his first significant attack when Ebechi Eze fired for the first time from the inside of the painting in the 16th minute, finding the Daniel Munoz cross with a fierce end of the right beyond Ederson for his sixth goal in five appearances.
Guardiola used Kevin de Bruyne and Bernardo Silva as midfielders who had midfielders because Mateo Kovacic “did not feel good” and said that the city had “played a lot, much better” than they did in their 5-2-home victory over the Palau in the Premier League last month and their 2-1 defeat at Manchester United last year.

“We have not suffered well defensively,” he added. “We couldn’t find (De Bruyne) in the positions we wanted. The play plan didn’t work because we didn’t win.
“Against Southampton (in a 0-0 Staw last Saturday), I had a bad feeling, but today I didn’t.
“Of course, we are sad … With the anthem, the stadium and the people, it is a beautiful and beautiful day.”
City ended with more than 78% of possession, six of the eight target attempts between teams and 23 of the 30 efforts in total, although Palace could have set a second when the goal of the second half of Munoz was ruled out because Ismaila Sarr was offside.
There was a sense of despair in the introduction of 19 -year -old Claudio Echeverri At the place of Marmoush 14 minutes of time, although Argentina Youth International was one of the several players who had blocked shots inside the box during the closing stages.
“My inspiration,” Guardiola smiled when asked about Echeveri’s surprise introduction. “I am a talented manager.
“I want to be honest, it was not a bad decision with the way of playing and the possibilities it had. He had three possibilities in small spaces.
“I saw him in the training sessions. He really moves, very well in small spaces and it is really creative in it. You have to find something in this kind of game, drizzle and find a flying.
“Crystal Palace Love (defending) crosses. It is usually so smart and precise. We had the possibilities, but unfortunately we couldn’t mark.”
