With City having already retained the Premier League, now only a first-ever Champions League title stands between Pep Guardiola바카라™s team and immortality in English football.
Gundogan, City바카라™s captain, scored the quickest goal in an FA Cup final 바카라” timed by British broadcaster BBC at 12.91 seconds 바카라” only for United midfielder Bruno Fernandes to convert a 33rd-minute penalty against the run of play after Jack Grealish was adjudged to have handled the ball.
If Gundogan바카라™s opener was probably his best goal for City, his 51st-minute winning goal might be one of his scrappiest as he met a cross from Kevin De Bruyne from a free kick with a left-foot volley that bobbled between two United defenders and past goalkeeper David De Gea.
United was looking to protect its proud status as the only team to win the league-FA Cup-European Cup treble, in 1999, but now needs a favor from Inter Milan in the Champions League final in Istanbul on June 10.
It was the 142nd FA Cup final and the first between the two Manchester clubs, with Prince William and United great David Beckham among those in attendance at England바카라™s national stadium.
