Manchester City will end the 2024–25 campaign without major silverware after losing 1–0 to Crystal Palace in the FA Cup final at Wembley Stadium.
The Eagles were forced to suffer during the first half under waves of City pressure but inexplicably entered half time ahead. Eberechi Eze finished a wonderful counter-attack to offer Palace their one-goal lead, with Dean Henderson preserving the cushion by rebuffing Omar Marmoush‘s penalty later in the half.
City tried to produce an equaliser after the restart that would have forced extra-time but they came up against an immovable Palace rearguard. In the end, the Eagles held on to secure their first ever major trophy and qualify for next season's Europa League.
