Bootball Network reported on May 18 that the 2024-25 FA Cup finals started at Wembley Stadium. Manchester City lost to Crystal Palace 0-1 and missed the only chance to win the championship this season. The number of losses in the season reached 16 games, and the four majors were gone.

In this game, Manchester City took the initiative on the court, with a ball possession rate of up to 72%, but Crystal Palace has a strong defensiveness. In the 18th minute, Crystal Palace scored the only goal in the game by Eze through a counterattack. In the 36th minute, Manchester City got a penalty kick, but Haaland handed the ball to Marmush. The penalty kick taken by the latter was saved by Crystal Palace goalkeeper Henderson, and Manchester City missed a good opportunity to equalize.

This season, Manchester City ranked sixth in the league, was eliminated by Real Madrid in the Champions League play-offs, and failed to win the FA Cup and League Cup. 16 games were lost in various competitions, setting a new record for losing games in a single season since the 2008-09 season. Manchester City lost 23 games in the 2008-09 season, when the team was in a turbulent adjustment period. Nowadays, Manchester City has achieved many achievements under Guardiola's coach, but this season has been in trouble, exposing problems in mentality, tactics and defense at critical moments. In the future, the team needs to make adjustments and changes to regain the pace of winning and the strength to win the championship.
