Manchester United has won the FA Cup for the 13th time in its history by defeating their neighbors Manchester City, who recently won the Premier League title, with a score of 2-1 in the final held at the famous Wembley Stadium. Argentine Alejandro Garnacho (30) and Kobbie Mainoo (39) scored the goals for Manchester United, while Belgian Jeremy Doku (87) scored for City.
United denied their "sky blue" neighbors a historic double for the second consecutive year, a feat that no other team has accomplished. Additionally, United avenged their loss in last year's final, where they fell 1-2 to City.
Ironically, United's victory came at a time when they were not the favorites, having had one of their worst seasons. In contrast, City established itself as a dominant force in England, as demonstrated by winning the league title for the fourth consecutive season in a tight race with Arsenal that kept fans on edge until the final stage last week.
United saved their season as the win over City marked their first victory against them this season, following previous losses of 0-3 and 1-3 in the league, allowing them to directly reach the group stage of the UEFA Europa League.
United finished eighth in the league at the end of the competitions (having suffered 14 defeats), marking their lowest position since the Premier League was established in 1990. They also failed to advance beyond the group stage of the UEFA Champions League, finishing at the bottom of their group with only 4 points.
