Manchester City finished second after losing 0-1 to Crystal Palace in the final of the 2024-2025 FA Cup at Wembley Stadium in London at 0:30 a.m. on the 18th (Korea time).
Guardiola's actions after the game became controversial. At a moment when Palace players were enjoying the joy of winning, Guardiola headed to the side of goalkeeper Dean Henderson, who led Palace to the championship. Henderson showed his best performance by blocking several decisive shots from Manchester City, including Omar Marmusch's penalty save.
Was Guardiola not happy with Henderson's performance. Guardiola approached Henderson, who was enjoying his moment of victory, and said a few words. It is not known what was said, but it seems to have been a bad word from Henderson's point of view. Henderson's expression was immediately crumpled after hearing Guardiola's words.

The British Daily Mail predicted that Guardiola would have expressed his dissatisfaction with Henderson because there was a scene in which he benefited from the decision. This scene came in the 23rd minute of the first half. Yosuko Gvardiol sent a long pass towards Elling Holan in front. Henderson came in front of the penalty box to catch the ball.
At this time, Holan could have secured possession as the ball slowed down. Sensing this, Henderson hit the ball with his hand and sent it to the side. On a slow screen, Henderson's body was in the penalty box, but his hand was clearly out of the penalty box. It could have been a decisive opportunity for Manchester City, but VAR referees also passed the situation as it was. It's a scene that Manchester City would say is unfair. Guardiola seems to believe that Henderson and Palace have benefited greatly from the decision.
