Equalling the record margin of victory for an FA Cup final was the perfect way to cap a remarkable year for City, who followed their record-breaking Premier League triumph in 2017-18 with an even more astonishing run this term. The world’s media were united in their praise for Guardiola’s men, who have won five of the last six domestic trophies.
Eurosport labelled City as the country’s greatest ever, writing: “They may not have won the Champions League but the cold hard facts don’t lie: Manchester City are the best team to ever grace English football.”“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 the scale of this achievement and the brilliance of Pep Guardiola’s team,” he wrote.
