In the FA Cup final, Manchester City lost 0-1 to Crystal Palace and lost the championship. Haaland gave up a penalty in the game, Marmush lost the free throw, and Manchester City missed the reversal. After the game, Manchester City coach Guardiola answered his views on this "letting point incident".

How do you view this time giving up?

Guardiola Guardiola: "They made a decision on the court, I don't know, I haven't talked to them yet, so I don't know the reason."

Do you remember the incident when Haaland let the point result Gundogan lose his penalty a few years ago? You were very unhappy at the time. You said Haaland was a free thrower, you said you hoped he would give a penalty. Do you have the same opinion today?

Guardiola: "I thought he (Haland) would want to take the penalty, and we haven't discussed it yet. There are many questions now, but at that moment, I think your feelings about the penalty are the most important, do you understand, your feeling. Then they saw that Omar (Malmush) was ready for the free throw and made a decision, and the goalkeeper made a wonderful save."
