Haaland sends strong warning to Man City stars ahead of FA Cup final

After winning the league four years in a row, Manchester City's 2024-25 season has been a major disappointment.

They're 18 points behind champions Liverpool A slump in form starting in late October, with just one win in 13 games across all competitions, derailed their title hopes.

City's Carabao Cup campaign ended early, and they underperformed in the Champions League, ultimately losing to Real Madrid. However, they still have a chance to salvage the season with FA Cup glory.

"This season has been tough," Erling Haaland told BBC Sport. "It is not nice to lose so many games. It is boring and not fun. That's why we need to finish well and get a trophy."

"It is a good habit to reach Wembley and always important to win trophies. We have the FA Cup final to play for and in a horrific season we still managed to do this."

"Of course, we have had injuries throughout the season. But we should not search for excuses.

"Every single one of us hasn't been good enough and we haven't been at our best, so when you are not at your best you aren't going to win games in this country because it's so hard."
