The fierce rivals Manchester City and Manchester United will face each other in the final of the FA Cup.

The "Cityzens" defeated Chelsea yesterday (1:0), while the "Red Devils" narrowly avoided embarrassment in their match against Coventry, surrendering a three-goal lead late in regular time. However, Erik ten Hag's team secured their place in the decisive match via a penalty shootout.

Interestingly, City and United will contest the final of the oldest English trophy for the second year in a row. This has only happened once before in the tournament's history: during the 1883/84 and 1884/85 seasons, the trophy was contested consecutively by Blackburn Rovers and Queens Park Rangers.

Recall that in 2023, Manchester City defeated their arch-rivals by a score of 2:1.

This year, United and City will meet at London's Wembley Stadium on May 25th.
