Fa cup: Man city Ends Season With Treble!!!


Manchester City's historic FA Cup final win was almost swamped by the glowing list of statistics piling up around them - but nothing can disguise thescale of this achievement and the brilliance of Pep Guardiola's team.The club once loftily dismissed as "noisy neighbours" by then-Manchester United manager SirAlex Ferguson confirmed they now exert a domesticdominance that speaks eloquently on their behalf with a crushing, brutal 6-0 dismissal of Watford in the final at Wembley.It completed a domestic treble of Premier League, FA Cup and Carabao Cup - something never before achieved in the English men's game.This may have been a victory lap completed with embarrassing ease, with early Watford body blows parried in comfort before a form of footballing torture ensued, but this was arguably the greatest day in City's history as this treble was won ruthlessly, spectacularly.If Watford thought City's Premier League title triumph, secured six days earlier after a mentally and physically taxing season-long battle them Liverpool, would take the edge off the appetite for success that consumes Guardiola and his players, they were swiftly disabused of the notion.*.Man City are world's best team - Kompany*.Man City 'could dominate for a decade'*.How impressive is Man City's treble achievement?Guardiola insists winning is "addictive".All the signs are City, in their current form and with further development to come, will satisfy this craving for years to come.The statistics say everything about this team, their manager and the powerhouse that has been assembled, and will continue to be built, at Etihad Stadium.The 6-0 victory margin equalled the biggest in the FA Cup final - set when Bury beat Derby County in 1903.Man City 6-0 Watford: Pep's got no chill, worst coin toss ever & City run riotYet this was the eighth time City have scored six or more goals this season, including two sevens and one nine - against Burton Albion in the EFL Cup.City are the first English side to achieve 50 wins in all competitions in a single season and only the fourth team to win both major domestic cup competitions in the same campaign.This latest triumph was achieved with the hallmark of true greatness, cold-blooded efficiency under a silk cover as Watford, who effectively collapsed after David Silva gave City a 26th-minute lead, were taken apart piece by piece.Pep Guardiola has won six trophies during three years in charge at Manchester CityAs City celebrated this outstanding season amid post-match tickertape and pyrotechnics, a revealingscene played out, one that was symbolic of what drives Guardiola and those who play under him.Most coaches would have basked in this glory - andwhy not? - and yet Guardiola was in animated tic-tac, arm-waving discussion with Raheem Sterling, fiercely explaining some tactical point he felt must be addressed.*.Liverpool to face Man City in Community Shield*.Cup final result sends Wolves into EuropeNot in August. Now. Instantly - moments after the history books had been re-written.The natural reaction may have been to suggest, politely of course, that Guardiola might just give it a rest - but if this 90 minutes demonstrated one thing,it is that City and their manager never rest.As a contest, this was over and the sky blue ribbonscould be tied to the FA Cup once substitute Kevin de Bruyne made in 3-0 after 61 minutes - but this did not stop City turning this into a harrowing experience for Javi Gracia and Watford's players.If there can be a battering with brushstrokes, this was it. Watford were virtually pleading for the merciful release of referee Kevin Friend's final whistle.Hornets president and fanatical lifelong supporter Sir Elton John, a tearful spectator at their 2-0 loss toEverton in the 1984 final, was in Copenhagen on his farewell world tour - and perhaps it was for the best because this was torment for everyone associated with the club.Manchester City have won five out of the past six domestic trophies available to them.
