Glasner joins the elite: Who else has tamed Guardiola in domestic cup finals?

Pep Guardiola has been beaten in consecutive domestic cup finals after Manchester City lost 1-0 to Crystal Palace at Wembley on Saturday. 

Henderson shone brightly as his team secured a momentous victory against City. 

The goalkeeper twice thwarted Erling Haaland in the first half, initially forcing him wide before saving Omar Marmoush's spot-kick, awarded after Tyrick Mitchell's foul on Bernardo Silva. 

Despite City's second-half pressure, including the introduction of Phil Foden and Claudio Echeverri, Palace's defence stood firm. 

Henderson capped his stellar performance with a late save from Echeverri, ensuring Palace earned a memorable draw despite ten minutes of stoppage time.

Following Saturday’s loss, Guardiola has suffered consecutive defeats in a domestic cup final, having been beaten 12 months ago against Manchester United. 

With Oliver Glasner getting the better of the Spaniard, the Palace boss joins Jose Mourinho and Erik ten Hag as the only managers to topple him in such matches. 

The outcome of the 2025 final means that Guardiola will end the 2024-25 season without a major trophy.

What’s next for Man City?

Man City face a battle to end in the Premier League's top five and play Bournemouth and Fulham in their final fixtures.
