The scary thought for the rest of the Premier League must be that Guardiola, who looked and sounded like a man ready to pack it in and head for the golf course earlier this season, is finding fresh motivation in putting Manchester City back together.

City are deservedly through to their third consecutive FA Cup final, a date with Crystal Palace secured thanks to a well-crafted 2-0 win against Nottingham Forest, but Guardiola still has damage to repair. Ever the perfectionist, he will look b...

Spanish giants show class against elite Women’s Champions League opponents, but Chelsea face more soul-searchingClàudia Pina scores. You know it’s a good goal because the moment it hits the net, Barcelona’s substitutes scramble forward to the front of the dugout, desperate to watch it again on the replay screen. Meanwhile, a few yards away Sonia Bompastor turns to the Chelsea bench and smiles weakly. A yeah-fair-play smile.

It was a day when the FA Cup romantics could see the script for Nuno Espírito Santo and Nottingham Forest, something to further embellish the manager’s hero status and the club’s finest season in at least 30 years. It was one when Pep Guardiola and Manchester City just refused to entertain it.City led from the second minute through Rico Lewis’s second goal of the season and when Josko Gvardiol thumped home a header on 51 minutes shortly after a glaring miss by the Forest substitute, Anthony Elanga, it felt over.
