Manchester City narrowly defeated Chelsea in the FA Cup semifinal to reach their second successive final thanks to a late Bernardo Silva goal.
To find out if we'll be watching back-to-back Manchester derby FA Cup finals, we await to find out the result between Coventry City and Manchester United in the other semifinal. They play each other on April 21.
Pep Guardiola's men bounced back after being knocked out of the Champions League in midweek to Real Madrid. While they looked incredibly tired at times, they got the job done.
Guardiola had lots to say post-match about the arrangement of his side playing on the Saturday instead of Sunday:
"Why play today and not tomorrow, when Coventry, Chelsea, and United didn’t play in the midweek?
"Why not have one more day for the health of the players? Tell me how you prepare this final against Chelsea in the best moment of the season. How? It’s impossible. There’s no chance," he added.

The 2023/24 FA Cup semifinals will each be played at Wembley Stadium on Saturday, April 20 and Sunday, April 21.
There will be no semifinal replays, meaning games that are level after 90 minutes will go to extra time and, if necessary, penalties.
When is the FA Cup semifinal draw?
The FA Cup semifinal draw took place after the tie between United and Liverpool concluded, approximately 15 minutes after the final whistle.
The game kicked off at 3:30 p.m. local time (11:30 a.m. ET), but after it went to extra time, the draw was a little later than planned due to the match not finishing until just after 6 p.m. local time.
