Pep Guardiola was involved in a tense exchange with Crystal Palace goalkeeper Dean Henderson after Manchester City's 1-0 defeat in the 2025 FA Cup Final. The confrontation took place on the pitch at Wembley Stadium moments after the final whistle, as emotions ran high following City's shock loss.
The match saw Eberechi Eze score the decisive goal in the 16th minute, sealing a historic victory for Crystal Palace — the club’s first major trophy in its 120-year history. Dean Henderson played a pivotal role in the win, producing a standout performance that included a vital penalty save from Omar Marmoush in the first half, as well as several key stops throughout the game.
Despite dominating possession and creating numerous chances, Guardiola’s Manchester City side were unable to find an equaliser. The result marked a disappointing end to their season, one of the few under Guardiola’s tenure that finished without major silverware.
While the specifics of the post-match exchange between Guardiola and Henderson remain unclear, the incident underscored the intensity and significance of the occasion. Meanwhile, Crystal Palace’s victory not only brought jubilation to their supporters but also earned them a place in next season’s UEFA Europa League.
