Pep Guardiola has admitted he thought Erling Haaland would take Manchester City's penalty during their FA Cup final defeat to Crystal Palace and revealed it was "decided on the pitch" that Omar Marmoush would step up before his miss.

Pep Guardiola insisted he played no part in the decision that saw Omar Marmoush take a vital FA Cup final penalty against Crystal Palace instead of Erling Haaland. City’s last chance of silverware this season evaporated at Wembley after Eberechi Eze’s 16th minute goal ultimately proved the difference between the two sides.

Erling Haaland was visibly emotional at the end of Manchester City's FA Cup final loss to Crystal Palace, but plenty of City fans think he's to blame after another quiet performance in a major match.
