Guardiola’s Stunning Praise for Kovacic Sparks Buzz Ahead of City’s Historic FA Cup Finale
Manchester City have done it again—punching their ticket to a third consecutive FA Cup final with a solid 2-0 victory over a resurgent Nottingham Forest side. What struck me most wasn’t just the result but how Mateo Kovacic emerged as the quiet architect behind City’s dominance, serving up an early assist that set the tone. Pep Guardiola didn’t hold back, calling Kovacic “extraordinary,” and honestly, after watching those last few performances, I can’t argue. The Croatian’s poise and precision, especially on a big Wembley stage, are exactly the kind of qualities that keep this City team buzzing despite a season that hasn’t always gone their way. With Rico Lewis and Josko Gvardiol netting the goals, Guardiola’s squad keeps the silverware hunt alive, while Forest’s near misses on the woodwork show just how hard City had to work. It’s a fine balance, and as the Champions League battle looms large, this victory feels like both a momentum booster and a reminder of why Pep’s group just keeps finding ways to stay on top. Ready for the final showdown against Crystal Palace? Me too. LEARN MORE
