On this match day, the curtain of the FA Cup finals will be opened, and Manchester City and Crystal Palace will compete for the championship.

Manchester City created many threatening opportunities in this game, but it was still unable to open the fingers of Crystal Palace goalkeeper Henderson.

Although Manchester City's current dominance is no longer comparable to its peak, the lean camel is bigger than a horse. The last time he played against Crystal Palace, Manchester City still won a 5-2 victory, and the two teams faced each other directly in the last seven times, and the Blue Moon League has never lost, which is why fans were optimistic about their prospects for winning the championship before the game.

In order to successfully defeat the opponent and win the championship, Manchester City continued to use a 4231 formation in this game, starting goalkeeper Ortega, Akanji, Rubendias, Gvadior and O'Reilly built defense lines, and the double midfielder De Bruyne partnered with Bernardo Silva, Savignho, Marmush and Doku lined up in the midfield, and the single arrow was Haaland, who was still in a goal drought in the finals 7 times.

With the referee's whistle, Manchester City besieged Crystal Palace on the court. In the 6th minute, Haaland's volley was close to the left of the penalty area, which was saved by Henderson. Five minutes later, Gvadior's header was once again blocked by Henderson. Crystal Palace, which had been attacking the Blue Moon League at the start, took the lead in the 16th minute. Munos counterattacked and made a cross from the right, Eze made a score, helping the team to gain a 1-0 lead.

In the 24th minute, Henderson cleared the ball outside the penalty area with his hands. The referee did not express any expression, which aroused dissatisfaction among Manchester City fans. Manchester City, which continued to attack fiercely, created a penalty kick by Bernardo Silva in the 36th minute, but Marmush's point shot still could not break Henderson's ten fingers. Before the end of the half, Doku broke through from the left and shot from the far corner, and was saved by Henderson again. Relying on the goalkeeper's brave performance, Crystal Palace led with one goal, ending the first half.

The change of sides and then changed sides, Manchester City continued to put pressure on Crystal Palace's goal. In the 46th minute, Doku completed a very threatening shot, but unfortunately he was blocked by Haaland. In the 58th minute, Muñoz made a follow-up shot in front of the goal and knocked on Manchester City's goal again. However, the referee looked back at VAR and decided that offside was the first and canceled the goal.

In the 75th minute, De Bruyne sent a scalpel to the midfield, creating an excellent scoring opportunity for O'Reilly. Unfortunately, the young player was too hesitant and did not shoot at the first time and missed the opportunity to equalize. In the next time, both teams created some opportunities to score, but unfortunately they were not sure. In the end, Crystal Palace won Manchester City in vain and won the FA Cup championship this season as he wished.

With the whistle sounding in the end of this game, Manchester City, coached by Guardiola, has determined the ending of all four of this season, but they must get out of the shadow of the loss as soon as possible. There are still two rounds of the league that have not played. If they cannot win the entire victory, they may even be unable to get tickets to the Champions League next season, which will have a more fatal impact on the Blue Moon Army.
