Manchester United and Manchester City face off in the English FA Cup final. It is the first time in 152 years history that the Manchester derby has been held in the FA Cup final.
It was Man City who reached the final. On the 23rd (Korean time), in the semi-final against Sheffield United (Part 2) held at Wembley Stadium, Riyad Mahrez’s hat-trick led to a 3-0 win. For the first time in FA Cup history, attention was focused on whether the final would be held with the Manchester derby.
Manchester United also responded by advancing to the final. In the semi-final match against Brighton & Hove Albion held at the same venue on the 24th, they won 7-6 in a penalty shootout after being 0-0 in regular time and extra time. With all 6 kickers from both teams successful, the fate was divided at the 7th kicker.
As a result, the two teams will compete for the FA Cup title on June 3 at 11:00 pm (Korean time) at Wembley Stadium in London, England. Manchester United will challenge for the 13th overall in 7 years since 2016, and Man City for the 7th championship in 4 years. 메이저사이트
Man City is also challenging to win the English Premier League (EPL) and the European Football Federation (UEFA) Champions League (UCL) this season. In order to win the treble (three crowns), it has become a situation where you must overcome rival Manchester United. Manchester United were eliminated from the UEFA Europa League (UEL) and winning the EPL became virtually impossible. Instead, I was looking forward to winning the second championship this season following the English League Cup (Carabao Cup).
In the Manchester derby twice this season, they faced each other tightly with one win and one loss. Manchester City defeated Manchester United 6-3 in a home game held in October last year with double hat-tricks from Elling Haalan and Phil Foden. Manchester United also managed to avenge themselves with a 2-1 come-from-behind win at home in January.
