LONDON (Reuters) - Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola urged his players to seize the opportunity of a lifetime after they beat arch-rivals Manchester United 2-1 in the FA Cup final on Saturday.
Victory in the first-ever all-Manchester FA Cup final, secured by Ilkay Gundogan's brace of goals, came hot on the heels of a fifth Premier League title in six seasons under the Spaniard.
"We are in a position we will probably never be in again," Guardiola, who has turned City into an unstoppable force since arriving in 2016, winning 11 trophies, told reporters. But they still had too much for a United side who levelled via a Bruno Fernandes penalty and pressed late on but could have few complaints about the final result.
"I'm thinking about what we have to do to beat Inter. I spoke with the players many times. Forget about it. Focus on what you need to do to beat Inter."
