Pep wants 'spirit' as City take aim at Forest in FA Cup semis

PEP Guardiola has vowed Manchester City will be back to their best next season after losing their “spirit” during a turbulent campaign that exposed an unexpected lack of hunger in his side.

Pep wants 'spirit' as City take aim at Forest in FA Cup semis

Currently third in the Premier League, City - who had won the previous four English titles - want to salvage a dismal year by winning the FA Cup and qualifying for the Champions League via a top-five finish.

Guardiola’s side face Nottingham Forest in the FA Cup semi-finals tomorrow knowing defeat at Wembley would condemn them to finish without a major trophy for the first time since 2016-17.

The first semi-final takes place today, when Crystal Palace face Aston Villa at Wembley.

But Guardiola is already thinking about how to avoid a repeat of City’s stunning struggles, and he believes he has found the solution.

The City boss noticed the passion his players celebrated with after Bernardo Silva put them ahead in a crucial 2-1 win against top-five rivals Aston Villa on Tuesday.
