At Wembley Stadium, Manchester City advanced to the FA Cup final for the third consecutive year with a 2-0 win over Nottingham Forest, thanks to goals from Rico Lewis and Josh Gvardiol at the start of each half.

Although Liverpool were crowned Premier League champions after defeating Tottenham at Anfield, Guardiola's team still has hope of winning a trophy this season. They will compete with Crystal Palace for the FA Cup on May 17, which is also Manchester City's second attempt at this honor in the past three years.

At the beginning of the game, Lewis broke the deadlock with a precise low shot in the 2nd minute, dealing a heavy blow to Forest. Forest had hoped to find opportunities through tenacious defense, but this early goal disrupted their deployment.

Shortly after the start of the second half, Anthony Elanga, who came on as a substitute at halftime, missed a great chance to equalize and missed the team's first shot. Not long after, Gwadiol headed in a corner kick to help Manchester City extend their lead and almost secure the victory in advance.

Although Forest launched a counterattack afterwards, Morgan Gibbs-White hit the crossbar with a volley, and then hit the post due to Gwadiol's mistake. Then Awoniyi's clever shot also hit the post. The three shots on the frame made them only sigh their bad luck.

But in the final analysis, Forest's performance in the first half was the real fatal flaw. Although they were suppressed by Manchester City as expected on the field, they failed to pose any threat even when they got the ball. For a full 45 minutes, they did not have a single shot and only had one touch in the Manchester City penalty area.

Forest manager Nuno stepped up his team's attack in the second half, but it was too late. For experienced Manchester City, in their seventh consecutive FA Cup semi-final, they relied on their big game background to advance to the final. Even if this is the most ups and downs season in the Guardiola era, Manchester City is still expected to end the season with an FA Cup trophy.
