01x05 - 5. Do you want to play in the final?

Post by bunniefuu »

[Pep] Get tight, guys. Get tight.

[tense music playing]

We are all together here?

Do you wanna play

in the final of the Champions League?

-Yeah?

-Yes!

[birds singing]

[reporter 1] Let's get

to Wednesday's title showdown

between Manchester City and Arsenal.

[reporter 2] Arsenal's draw

moves them five points clear at the top,

but crucially, they've now played

two more games than City.

[pundit] Arsenal Football Club

are a massive institution.

They're back at the top for a reason,

and they had an opportunity

to be eight points clear

in the Premier title race, and somehow,

that eight points has now slipped away.

[Pep] It's really important, not decisive,

because there's still many tough games

for both sides.

We have more games to play, but,

uh, we cannot deny how important it is.

-Lovely day. Look, amazing.

-[producer] Finally.

Yeah, finally.

Erling, get us my boots, lad.

[indistinct chatter]

[Haaland] That's the difference

between me and you.

I'm a good guy.

[Grealish] Whoa, whoa. Hold on.

Who went downstairs and got your Domino's

and delivered to your door?

[Dias] It has been difficult,

and it will be difficult until the end

'cause it's so easy to look far ahead,

and it's so easy for you to lose the focus

into things that you think might happen.

And that's the one thing

that can get you k*lled.

Sometimes, in league football,

you have finals,

even though

they they are not technically finals,

that Arsenal match felt,

pretty much, like a final.

[Natalie Gedra] We want the feel

of the title-deciding match,

and we had that feel

of, "Okay, this is big."

"This This match is big."

[Dias] Every year,

there's a strong opponent,

it's perfect

'cause it just makes your triumph better.

Just another another one.

Just another day at the office.

[pundit] Manchester City

are on fantastic form right now.

The title race is delicately balanced.

The fact that Arsenal have dropped points

has given further incentive to City

to keep on trying

to hunt them down at the top.

City, as we've seen before

at this stage of the season,

can be relentless,

and they would need to be relentless.

[commentator] Defeat for either

of these two sides is simply unthinkable.

I wanna give you advice for this type

of games against this opponent.

We've played two times.

If you don't finish with problems

with the ankle, for the kicks,

for the knees, for the shoulders,

then you didn't compete.

Today it's simple as that

against the opponent.

You have to enjoy having been kicked.

You have to enjoy having pain.

After kicks, stand up and go one more.

Otherwise it will not be possible.

And you are possible. Okay guys? Vale.

[shouting]

Let's go!

[commentator 1] This is the big one

we've been waiting for.

[commentator 2] Just incredible.

The noise is superb.

The atmosphere just seems

to have gone up a few notches

from any other game I can remember here.

-[crowd roars]

-[whistle blows]

[dynamic music playing]

Haaland up against Holding. Holds him off.

Lays it off to De Bruyne,

and De Bruyne's advancing.

Oh yeah, the one at home. Yeah.

Yeah, good. It was a nice goal.

[laughs]

[commentator 2] De Bruyne shoots!

Oh, brilliant.

[fans cheering]

How about that

for lighting the touch paper, then?

[fans singing]

[commentator 1] Here is Erling Haaland.

Saved by Ramsdale.

Relishing the battle

they find themselves in here.

[commentator 2] The free kick.

It's a free header, and it's 2-0.

But the offside flag

will deny John Stones the goal.

Well, he's being told,

Michael Oliver, to award the goal.

Manchester City make it 2-0.

[Grealish] Hey.

We can use him so much more.

[indistinct chatter]

But, like, in behind though.

Yeah. You put the ball there. I run.

Until when? Holding's back?

Yes. Wait and see. Just do it.

Then it's one against one, me and Gabriel.

-Okay, I'll do that.

-Wait and see. Just do it. Just do it.

[Grealish] Boys,

we know what they're gonna be like.

As soon as they come out now, I swear,

they're gonna get in there.

Come on, boys.

Straight from the off. Straight away.

[Haaland] We press them.

[dynamic music playing]

[commentator 1] Haaland.

De Bruyne!

-[crowd cheering]

-[commentator 1] 3-0.

And if this is a title decider,

it's very much gone the way

of Manchester City.

[commentator 2] The hair

has been released from the elastic.

-[pundit] He is a striking Viking.

-[commentator 1] It's like a shampoo ad.

[commentator 2] What a touch

from Foden. Haaland!

[commentator 3] I think

that's a fairer reflection

of this dominance tonight,

and it could've been six, seven, eight.

Come on!

Yes!

[Foden] I was trying

to get it out of my feet.

But I knew

you were gonna touch it like that.

[man] Full Viking mode, he went!

It's not over. We could drop points.

It's the reality,

and they can win the five games.

[Henry Winter] If Arsenal got a draw,

that would just keep

Manchester City at bay.

But then 4-1 and you thought,

"Right, the balance has truly shifted."

[mellow music playing]

[man] That's the one.

[indistinct chatter]

Teach him how to beat Real.

[laughter]

Tonight, dinner.

Tomorrow, breakfast. Just Madrid.

[Khaldoon] And lunch, and dinner.

[laughter]

[Haaland] Every game is a final

for us now.

Every single game counts.

[commentator] Álvarez.

Eluded the challenges well.

And that is absolutely magnificent.

[reporter] Finally back on top, then.

Will that have given them

a psychological boost?

[pundit] They deserve to win the game.

They deserve to be top of the table.

For Arsenal,

after you've been beaten by Man City

in the way they were beaten,

to then be knocked off top spot,

this is a major test

of character for them.

[Grealish] Rúben's too funny, man.

What, organized?

[they laugh]

Everything like Go and have a look

at my stuff, and then have a look at his.

[buzzer rings]

Time.

All done.

[Grealish whoops]

Jack, I'm very nicely surprised

at your attendance.

[Grealish] Whoa. Don't start.

Don't think I'm just doing it

'cause the camera's here.

-Okay, well

-You ask Rúben.

I like to do stuff properly.

[he laughs]

[reporter 1] "Anything can happen."

Those are the words of Pep Guardiola

on Manchester City's busy schedule

between now and the end of the season.

City are still on track

for this historic Treble-winning season.

[reporter 2] Manchester City know

they'll be top of the league again

if they beat West Ham.

[reporter 3] And City striker Haaland

could break a Premier League record

tonight.

It's just one more goal to move

to 35 for the Premier League season

and overtake Andrew Cole and Alan Shearer.

Whoo!

Finally.

[man] You've got a chance, you,

in the game, lad.

Yeah, Sunday League, I've got a chance,

or Stockport County.

[commentator] Another chapter

in the story of this unique season.

The game before against Fulham,

at halftime, I said,

"Ah, I'm going to assist

your record-breaking goal."

Then literally as we come out

of halftime, second half,

I played a pass to him, and he went "bam,"

but the keeper saved it,

and I was like, "No!" Fuming.

[commentator] On it goes to Grealish.

Grealish on to Haaland.

So I was like,

"I need to get him this assist."

It felt like I broke the record.

[commentator] Haaland through on goal.

2-0 City.

Had to be. Haaland doesn't miss those.

And now he becomes

the first player in Premier League history

to hit 35 goals in a season.

Oh!

Phil Foden.

The champions return to the top.

A point clear of Arsenal.

A game in hand, as well.

[pundit] Honestly,

he's absolutely incredible.

Astonishing to see what we've seen here

from a top, top individual.

[reporter] Would you swap the records,

all of your goals, for three trophies

at the end of this season?

Yeah.

[Haaland yells]

-That's the most important thing, is it?

-It really is.

[Pep] Now, come, everyone here, please.

Of course, today,

Erling make an incredible milestone.

You have to talk

and say some words, Erling, to

[player] Erling, go on.

[applause]

Thank you, guys.

Of course it's huge for me,

and without you guys,

wouldn't be possible.

On the bench everyday with all the physios

and all the assists as well.

You know, I don't know what more to say,

but I'm really happy,

and thank you guys so much.

[Walker] What about the boots?

[man] I can speculate.

These, definitely.

-You reckon them?

-Yeah.

Whose tracksuit's this?

-[Akanji] I think Rodri will laugh.

-You think he'll laugh?

I think he's gonna be angry.

-I wanna see the ones There we go.

-Yeah.

We have children. We can get things ready.

-Someone said he moves better than Rodri.

-[Mahrez] I thought it was Rodri.

-[Stones] Yeah, it is.

-No, it's not.

It is.

Hundred percent,

I'm getting blamed for this.

[laughter]

[Haaland] Yeah, he's coming now.

You've got to do it

a bit more discreet though.

[whimsical music playing]

[quiet laughter]

[man] Rodri.

[Mahrez] Rodri!

[laughter]

[applause]

[Akanji] Why are you scared?

[Mahrez] "I was scared

because I was thinking it's a player."

"That's what I think."

[pundit] City will think

if they're gonna win it this year,

they'll have to win the hard way.

But that's the case in Champions League.

At this stage of the competition,

you have some of the very best teams

on the planet battling for that trophy.

It's a great draw.

Best photo for today goes to me.

[laughter]

[commentator] It's the champions

against the history-chasers

for a place in Istanbul.

-[intense music playing]

-[fans cheering and whistling]

Champions League perfection here

in the Spanish capital.

[music fades]

[De Bruyne] What happened last year

is we tried to win the competition again,

and we didn't do it,

and this year is a new game,

and it's basically a new competition.

Like, I don't feel

any revenge feelings in that way.

I just wanna try and win this time.

[commentator] Fans and players alike

left this stadium 12 months ago numb

and in a state of shock.

[Gedra] Man City fans know very well

how things happened in the year before.

[commentator] And coming in now

is Riyad Mahrez!

And it's a giant stride towards Paris.

Searching for Benzema, who hooks it in.

They've got one back.

[pundit] Out of nowhere,

they've got a lifeline.

[commentator] It's goal! It's in!

They've got another one!

They score again!

[pundit] Rodrygo, two in two minutes.

[intense music playing]

[commentator] The man of the hour,

Rodrygo. Benzema.

He's given a penalty. He's given it.

[crowd shouting]

Here comes Benzema.

Side-foots the ball in.

It's heartbreak for Manchester City.

It's Real Madrid in the Champions League.

They do things that you cannot explain.

[commentator] The final in Istanbul

is potentially just a couple of wins away.

Who knows what it might take

to finally see off Real Madrid.

That sense of anticipation.

So much talking, so much excitement.

[music ends]

[Alex] Madrid, away.

A semifinal game at the Bernabéu.

-Does Candy Crush calm your nerves?

-[De Bruyne exhales]

[upbeat music playing]

I just play games, talk to people.

I can't keep still. I can't keep still.

Like, I can't wait.

He's always like this,

chilling, watching his phone.

[Pep talks indistinctly]

I don't know. Like, everybody's different.

The more relaxed I am before,

the better I feel.

Pregame nerves here, fella.

Pregame nerves.

There's not really a lot

that I need to do,

except getting ready,

change, and that's it.

[music continues]

I'm just chilling, you know?

Everybody's running around doing stuff.

I think, what is it,

about ten minutes before we go out,

I start changing.

I don't like to wait,

so, if I wait too long, I get annoyed,

so I think that's why I do it.

[music ends]

[crowd singing] Madrid! Madrid! ♪

Madrid! Madrid ♪

[Pep] Last time we were here,

you know what happened.

Minute by minute during 180 minutes, guys.

This is the only way I know

to reach the finals

and try to fight it

to lift this amazing trophy.

It's winning minute by minute during 180.

There is no other solution. Okay?

[players shout encouragement]

[commentator] Space out wide for Silva,

up against Camavinga.

Kevin De Bruyne! Good save, Courtois.

The dangerous Vinícius Júnior.

What a challenge in there by Dias.

Here's Camavinga.

[dynamic music playing]

Vinícius Júnior. Shoots. Oh my word!

It is vicious from Vinicius.

[music fades]

[Carson] Well done, Rodri.

Head up. Come on.

He's just going around kicking everyone.

-[Dias] Come on boys! Come on!

-[man] Keep going.

We have to be positive.

And there's no arms up

to the guy

that made a mistake or whatever.

It's 1-0 down. It's the first leg.

We're playing away. There's a lot to play.

Be positive! We can destroy them.

[commentator] Bernardo Silva.

Lovely first-time ball

on to Kevin De Bruyne.

He's in here for Manchester City.

Good save by Courtois.

Really strong hand.

Grealish.

Gündoğan. Kevin De Bruyne!

[fan] Goal!

[commentator] One of Manchester City's

biggest players

with one of the biggest goals

of the season.

Real Madrid, one. City, one.

They'll do it again in eight days' time.

[applause]

-[Haaland] We are home now!

-Bravo, guys.

-Lads, well done.

-[man] Well done.

[Winter] You could sense

amongst Real Madrid, "We got the players."

"We can still go to Manchester City

and win there."

I think it's almost woven into their shirt

that they feel they'll progress

deep into a competition,

probably win the league.

I didn't want to put Manu under pressure,

you know that.

Because I saw both of them going and then

[indistinct]

That's okay. Hey, if we use the space,

Gündo, it's finished.

If we use the space,

it's finished for them.

[indistinct chatter]

[Grealish] You don't go,

"I wanna play these hard teams,"

'cause you just wanna get to the final.

But looking back, it's been perfect.

[crowd] Super Jack,

Super Jacky Grealish ♪

Super, super Jack ♪

Super, super Jack ♪

Super, super Jack

Super Jacky Grealish ♪

[Grealish] Like, the run,

the games, the away legs,

you know, at the Bernabéu,

at the Allianz Arena.

Stuff like that is just what you dream of.

[upbeat music playing]

[woman] She does a sloth walk, we call it.

Pulls on the lead like a sloth.

[chuckles]

[Grealish] I love my dog, man.

I love her more

than anything in the world.

It's nice, innit? You know, like,

when you come back after a game,

win, lose, whatever,

the dogs are just there,

so happy to see you.

Out.

[Sasha] Wow.

So I didn't have a scooby.

I just come home from training

on the day of my birthday.

And then, yeah, I just seen, like, Skye.

She was obviously just a puppy,

so she just sat there.

Best present I've ever had.

Skye, what's this? Come on, then.

Let's see what one she goes for. Here.

And, go!

-[Sasha giggles]

-[Grealish] She's thinking, "Huh?"

-[Sasha] Got a drone on her.

-[Grealish] "What's going on there?"

D'you know what?

One time, I brought her on this pitch,

and obviously

we'd trained on it in the day,

and, uh, she'd done the biggest ,

like, just in the middle of the pitch.

And I was like, to Sash,

"We just trained on that today."

"She's just done a

in the middle of it."

Go!

Because we live

in the city center as well,

there's not really, like, a lot of parks

and stuff like that for, like, her to

well, for for me, really,

to, like, just walk around

and just, obviously, do stuff,

like, with Skye and Sash or

Here's just, like, perfect, you know,

just to come and, like

I don't know, just come and chill.

It's weird, yeah, because she has, like

not favorite dogs,

but she has certain ones that she loves.

And she loves sausage dogs.

She gets on so well with them.

-Who's her best friend at day care?

-What's his name?

-Alan.

-Alan, yeah.

Man like Alan.

Come on. Come here!

[Sasha gasps] Where's Daddy?

[Grealish] Skye, what's this?

Skye!

You can tell

she's very well trained. [laughs]

[Grealish] I swear, like, I love

just having her there all the time

and just, you know, someone

to, like, come home to and that,

even after a game.

Even if you've played bad

or played good or whatever,

she's there, and just

-[producer] Yeah, she doesn't care.

-She don't care if I play good or bad.

He was like, "She doesn't know

her dad's Jack Grealish."

[Grealish] Yeah, nah.

She don't have a clue who I am.

She just loves me, innit?

She loves it, I swear, when I tickle her.

Well, to be fair,

she loves it when Sasha does it more.

Skye, sit.

[Sasha] Sit.

[Grealish] Have you colored them in?

-[producer] Look at them.

-[Grealish] 35!

[Dias] Ooh!

Special collection, eh?

Will I get "5" on mine?

Bernardo can have "3" on his.

[Grealish laughs]

[reporter] Tomorrow marks a crucial game

at both ends of the Premier League table.

Relegation-threatened Everton

face Treble-chasing Manchester City.

[Pep] Just one word in your minds,

in your heads, your hearts. Just one.

Look at me.

Everton.

I allow you a little bit

to think about Madrid,

but 2:00 p.m. on Sunday

is Everton, guys. Everton.

It's 11 months for that opportunity,

11 months.

[reporter] City head to Everton,

and Pep says they're not distracted at all

by their Champions League showdown

with Real Madrid in just three days.

[crowd singing]

[dynamic music playing]

[pundit] They've just got to

take control, settle it down.

The atmosphere, it's quite hostile.

They just wanna take

the sting out of the game.

[commentator] Mahrez, Gündoğan!

[fans cheering]

Spectacularly done by İlkay Gündoğan.

[pundit] It's quite brilliant.

[commentator] Gündoğan Haaland!

His 36th of this Premier League season.

Manchester City take a giant stride

towards a third successive

Premier League title,

as they bid for the Treble.

And he's certainly taking center stage

at the business end of it

for Pep Guardiola's side.

[man] Now we wait for 37.

[music plays in background]

Marvelous.

[laughter]

[Haaland] Perfect.

[pundit 1] We spoke about this

with Man City being relentless,

but, obviously, it's Sunday, May 21st.

Man City could win the title

against Chelsea.

-[pundit 2] They will.

-[pundit 1] With two games to spare.

They could win the league

with two games to spare.

They're just a winning machine.

[indistinct chatter]

[pundit] These are cup finals

for Man City,

playing every game on the edge,

and it's producing their best football.

[reporter] Manchester City have got

a real opportunity here.

The first semifinal did not disappoint.

I wonder what tomorrow night

is going to deliver.

[Haaland] Sander Berge ♪

La-la, la-la ♪

Scott, are we having

a couple of penalties?

Of course, mate.

-Three?

-Yeah.

Four? No, three.

-[Gündoğan] Is it windy?

-Should I wear this?

-I'm getting a haircut.

-Getting a haircut?

-What do you think?

-You look good, Jack.

What would you rate it out of ten?

Uh

It's actually all right.

Like a four and a half.

[laughter]

[man] Someone to start, please?

[reporter] Pep,

do you accept that this next month

could define your team's potential legacy

as one of the greatest club teams

in modern history?

[Pep inhales]

Our legacy is exceptional already, so

[laughter]

[players shouting]

[Pep] We have been here

for many times already,

so we are not stupid to know

how important is tomorrow's game.

It's maybe one of the most important games

since we are together here.

Right, the last one!

[pundit 1] They've got K*llers

in their team.

Rodrygo, Vinícius Júnior, Benzema.

[pundit 2] You can never

write either team off

because Real Madrid have the history

and the pedigree,

but Man City

can put you to the sword in 15 minutes.

Wait, wait, wait. Yeah, Manu!

[pundit 3] But I thought they tactically

outdid Madrid in that first game.

I just wonder how it's all gonna pan out

at the start of the next game,

'cause Ancelotti's no mug.

[pundit 4] They hold no fear.

They own this competition.

[tense music playing]

But, you know, tonight, if we were playing

any other club in world football,

any other team, you'd fancy it.

But it's Madrid's trophy, innit?

So it's kind of

We've gotta give 'em

the respect they deserve and all that,

but hopefully we'll do it.

[chanting]

Madrid!

Come on, City!

[tense music continues]

[fans whistling and cheering]

[fans chanting] City! City! City! City!

City! City! City!

[chanting fades]

[tense music continues]

[crowd chanting and whistling]

[pundit 1] We saw what Real Madrid

were all about in the Bernabéu.

Very defensively solid.

You've got great attacking players

in Vinícius Júnior, Rodrygo, Benzema.

[pundit 2] They're gonna play

in the same way.

They're gonna give us the ball.

If we score first and early,

it'll be a bloodbath.

[crowd cheering intensifies]

[indistinct chatter]

[man] Come on, team!

Come on!

[animated chatter]

[tense music resumes]

[man] Come on, boys.

Come on.

Let's go. We've got this.

Madrid, we beat them already, yeah?

-[chatter quietens]

-[music fades]

[Pep] We are all together here?

A question for all of you guys.

Do you wanna play

in the final of the Champions League?

[players shout] Yes!

Guys, when you play during the game,

good moments, hard moments,

think of the gut, "I wanna play

the final of the Champions League."

-Come on, let's go.

-Come on!

-[man] Let's go!

-[players shout]

[Dias] Guys, together!

90 minutes, together!

[tense music resumes]

[commentator] So here we go, then.

Part two of the dream semifinal.

History-chasing Manchester City

against the 14-time European Champions,

Real Madrid.

[indistinct encouraging comments]

[commentator] The players out

into a colorful cauldron of noise.

It's a season-defining night

for everyone down there.

City or Madrid, England or Spain.

Perfection or precision.

It's the very best

the game of football has to offer.

Sit back and enjoy it.

Inter Milan awaiting the winners

of tonight's match in the final

on the 10th of June in Istanbul.

Here's De Bruyne. On it goes to Haaland.

Great chance for Manchester City.

Pulled back and nobody was there.

It was just the touch that took him wide.

Kyle Walker.

Rodri.

Onto that right foot. Opens up the space.

All the way through and wide.

Real Madrid, they walked into an ambush.

[pundit] You have been warned.

Once, twice.

[commentator] Akanji. Grealish.

Lifted into Haaland!

It's Oh, what a stop.

Courtois and then David Alaba

with the clearance.

How on earth was that not 1-0?

Bernardo Silva.

Slightly different angle.

Good delivery

towards the far side and Akanji.

Haaland! Oh, what a save! What a save.

[mouths] What a save.

[commentator] Here's Walker.

It was just total dominance.

[commentator] Now De Bruyne.

They're toying with them.

Bernardo Silva. Yeah! Can't save that one.

[fans cheering wildly]

Elation from Guardiola.

expl*si*n from the supporters.

Wonderful finish from Bernardo Silva.

[fans singing]

Nine minutes to go in the first half.

Jack Grealish for Manchester City.

Gündoğan slipping in.

Here's the chance! Oh!

[fans cheering]

2-0 and it's Bernardo Silva again.

Manchester City can see Istanbul

appearing on the horizon.

Real Madrid were like a heavyweight

being struck down and struck down.

You can see that first half

as one of the most brilliant exhibitions

in modern football.

[music booms, fades]

[Haaland exhales]

It's not over.

Let's go.

They could do anything now.

We need to keep going.

-If we keep going, we are there.

-Yeah.

[Haaland] We drop down,

they have a chance.

Keep going, boys.

If we keep going, it's final.

[Grealish] Bernie.

Brilliant, man. Excellent.

Hey. Bruv, the pressing has been so good.

The press.

[man] You greedy little

You trying to score a hat trick, eh?

[in Spanish] We could try something

with Kevin or Erling here?

[chatter quietens]

[Pep] The best way

to defend the result, guys

We have to play.

Know that we will make a step up.

And they are going to press more higher.

Yeah?

You were outstanding. Beyond.

I know you wanna see.

"I wanna finish the 45 minutes and go."

No, no, no. You have to play, my friends.

You don't tell me you don't enjoy.

We have to play.

They don't have the structure

like Liverpool and Leipzig.

You know that they jump.

Put it here,

or even, Jack, you set the ball.

We cannot live the 45 minutes

just defending what we won deservedly.

We cannot.

Yes?

[players shout in response]

[dynamic music playing]

[pundit] This is what they need to do,

the team in sky blue.

Just keep the ball.

[commentator] On back heel. Haaland's in!

Oh, the save again by Courtois.

Free kick taken by De Bruyne!

It's gone in.

It's an own goal, is it?

Or did Akanji get the last touch?

[pundit] Doesn't matter, Fletch. It's 3-0.

[commentator] As Joleon Lescott says,

it doesn't matter

because that must be the moment

to take Manchester City to Istanbul.

[fans singing]

Foden.

On it goes to Álvarez!

[fans cheering]

Manchester City are heading to Istanbul.

They will play

in the Champions League final

against Internazionale of Milan,

and they've absolutely

ripped Real Madrid apart.

The champions are out,

and the blue moon

shines brighter than ever

over the Etihad Stadium tonight.

Manchester City

have had some great nights.

They haven't had many greater nights

in European competition than this one.

[pundit 1] That was as big a mauling

as I've seen in a long, long time.

[pundit 2] This is a juggernaut

that's gonna be difficult to stop.

[pundit 1] I don't just think

they're better than everyone.

I think they're miles ahead.

[pundit 3] The way they're playing,

and the confidence and belief,

even the hurt from last year

and previous seasons,

I think it's all added into the motivation

of getting the job done.

[reporter] Put it in your diary,

10th June, Champions League final.

[in Portuguese] Let's go!

[man] You're in for a beating.

[Haaland] Three more finals.

[background chatter]

Guys, you proved yourselves, guys,

that you wanna play

against Inter Milan, definitely.

You proved it

from the minute one until the end.

Congratulations, guys.

You are in the final

of the Champions League, guys.

[cheering]

[chanting]

Tell me how nice sounds

"Champions League final," guys.

How good you played.

You are incredible, guys.

Three games. On Sunday,

we have to close the Premier League.

Okay? Three years in a row.

Three Premier Leagues.

Three years in a row.

Two finals, another semifinal.

You're the best team in the world by far.

Congratulations, guys!

[cheering]

Premier League is probably the one

that most people set out looking to win.

It's the trophy where you sort of

reflects everything

that you are in a season, I suppose.

[playful shouting]

Such a nice feeling, and we have to,

you know, finish the job almost.

I'm excited, very excited.

What a day tomorrow.

Sun, family, friends.

Premier League trophy. Oh my God.

Three more finals. Don't forget this.

You think it's only one final. It's three.

Tomorrow, 3rd June, 10th June.

[reporter 1] If Arteta's side

are beaten by Nottingham Forest

in the Saturday Night Football,

then Manchester City

will be crowned champions

without even kicking a ball.

[reporter 2] Even if Arsenal win,

the title will be City's

if they beat Chelsea tomorrow.

[Grealish] A few days before, I was going,

"I don't even want Arsenal to beat Forest

because I wanna win the league."

Like, I want us to do it.

And then, on that day, I was thinking,

"Nah, actually. D'you know what?

Forest, just beat 'em."

[cheering]

I swear, when you want a team to lose,

the time goes so slow.

"Stop getting too confident.

Just get the job done, Jack."

That's what I was thinking, like.

Don't be thinking,

"I want to do it tomorrow." No.

If we can win it today, win it today,

so in the end, I wanted Forest to win.

[cheering wildly]

[reporter] Manchester City,

for the fifth time in six seasons,

are Premier League champions.

Third in a row

for Pep Guardiola and his team.

And City can enjoy themselves

at home to Chelsea tomorrow.

[Walker] It's relief, and I sit here now

and say, "Would I have wanted

to win it against Chelsea?"

Course I would have.

Was I complaining

when we won it the day before?

No, I wasn't because it's in the bag then,

and you don't take

these things for granted.

[reporter] In the Premier League,

their job is done.

-[upbeat music playing]

-[cheering]

[commentator] These truly are golden days

under Pep Guardiola.

I wonder how he feels coming out today

without the stress

of hanging on for a win.

[Pep] Guys.

These guys, Chelsea, play the same system

Frank Lampard played against Everton

against us here, and they draw 1-1.

5-3-2.

I'll tell you something.

It's the same system

that Inter Milan is going to play.

[Walker] To get a guard of honor

for the last three games,

it's sort of embarrassing

when you're walking out.

But, once you get out there, you feel,

"Wow, that's actually some achievement

that we've won the Premier League

with three games to go."

[commentator] Here's Palmer

with Foden moving up to his left.

It's Álvarez!

And the party is well and truly underway.

The Premier League champions round off

their home program with a win.

[pundit 1] Are we witnessing

the greatest English team ever produced?

[pundit 2] Unbelievable.

[pundit 3] A lot of people say

they are the deserving winners

because they've been the most consistent.

[commentator] Coronation year.

Manchester City,

the kings of English football again.

And there we go, three seasons in a row.

The champions of England.

Seven times in the last 12 seasons.

Five in the last six.

[De Bruyne] Honestly,

this is what you work for.

Everybody sacrifices, and family

and kids and friends and whoever

sacrifices also for the way that we live

and for what we do.

[chanting] City! City! City!

[commentator] What a moment this is

for this squad of players.

The great trophy that the last ten months

of blood, sweat, tears,

and toil has been all about.

[pundit] They can cope with the stress.

They can cope with the anxiety,

and they've gone and done so again

and basically just worried

about their own performances.

[pundit 2] A great achievement

to win the Premier League,

and to do it three years on the bounce,

that consistency

and the reliability is exceptional.

It's a testament to everything we're doing

and all the hard work, year in, year out.

Not for one year, not for two years,

not for three years. Ten years.

When I signed here,

I would've been happy with one.

But to win five in six years

has been fantastic.

[pundit 3] I think that with the addition

of Haaland, a team gets better,

and Haaland has given them

another dimension.

[commentator] This is a season

in which Manchester City

are within touching distance of greatness.

Part one completed.

[fans singing and cheering]

[cheering fades to silence]

[reporter 1] Erling Haaland was named

Footballer of the Year.

[reporter 2] Haaland collected

the Football Writers' Association Awards'

Footballer of the Year award.

The Football Writers' Association award

is a very prestigious award

because it features all the writers

from around the country

who've covered the sport from day one.

When you can be in a position

where you're almost the unanimous winner

of some of the most critical people

within the game of football,

this is a tremendous award.

-[barber] Two more to go, bro.

-Top.

He wants to leave the beard today.

No. Are you?

[Haaland] There's the boys.

Good to see you.

-Yeah, very good.

-He's done all right, hasn't he?

-Well done. Not bad, eh?

-[Lineker] Yeah, brilliant. Brilliant.

I was starting to think that

the goalscorer was going to be extinct.

You saved it!

You must have exceeded

all your expectations.

I never thought, "Oh, I didn't expect,"

but it was a really special moment for me.

[reporter] The City center forward

overwhelmingly topping

the prestigious poll

of more than 800 FWA members,

gaining more than 80%

of all the votes that were cast.

[applause]

[man] What d'you want, volley?

[Onuoha] It was a strange situation

to have sealed the Premier League title,

but still have

two Premier League games left

before the two big games of the season

in the FA Cup Final

and the Champions League final.

[dynamic music playing]

[commentator] Haaland one on one

against Steele.

Surely he'll take it up this time.

In fact, he'll find Foden,

who finds the back of the net.

We are going to suffer,

and we need that for the finals, guys.

We need it!

Intensity, energy, energy, energy

for the two finals.

Rhythm, rhythm from the minute one.

They don't wait. It's an aggressive team.

[commentator] The important thing

was that everyone

has come through this match unscathed.

[Pep] Don't think about Inter Milan.

Think about United.

Step by step.

[music ends]

[reporter] How does this side rank

compared to the '99 Treble-winning team

of Manchester United?

Although this team, as yet,

have not done the Treble.

[pundit] That's right. Good point.

They haven't, but they're an amazing team,

and they've got an important few weeks

coming up.

They're clear favorites to get it done,

but they still have to go and do it.

[reporter] It's FA Cup Final day.

Manchester City's pursuit

of the Treble continues

as they take on their biggest rivals,

Manchester United.

[reporter 2] All the talk

is about Man City's pursuit of the Treble,

and if they win today,

it'll also give Pep Guardiola

a 10th domestic cup

to go with 11 league titles.

[reporter 3] Two more wins

will see Pep Guardiola's side

emulate United's team of 1999,

who are currently the only English team

to ever win the Treble of Premier League,

FA Cup, and Champions League.

It's always bragging rights, isn't it,

with a derby?

And you know the importance

and the sentiment behind it,

but, for me,

I just look at it as another final,

you know, another big game,

and perform to the best of your ability.

[pundit] The extra edge for United

is try and win this game

to stop them doing the Treble.

That just adds a little extra spice.

[Walker] Come on, lads, eh? We're close.

We've got f two games.

This is the first one.

This is the first one.

Go and make history.

These don't stand in our way.

There's always gonna be, you know,

hype between a Manchester derby

against your bitter rivals.

I did feel a lot of pressure

going into that game

'cause I thought,

"Well, if we've got over this, okay."

"Ni We're 90 minutes away now from,

you know, being being history."

[intense music playing]

[commentator 1] When you combine

all that a Manchester derby brings with it

to all that a cup final can create,

you've certainly got a very heady mixture.

So the first ever Manchester derby

FA Cup final is underway.

[commentator 2] There's a good try.

Oh, incredible!

İlkay Gündoğan right from the start.

Thirteen seconds, it's been put down.

[pundit] What a strike,

what a moment for Manchester City.

You talk about being on the front foot.

What a start for City.

[Walker] When we're on the brink

of doing something so special

that only that team has done in 1999,

they was not gonna roll the red carpet out

for us and let us win that game.

[commentator 1] United possession

in and around the City penalty area.

Grealish is back there,

and it's a good sort of cushioned header

from Wan-Bissaka.

-But the only man there is Stefan Ortega.

-[whistle blows]

[commentator] And now there's a problem.

And the referee's gone to VAR,

and I think United

might have a penalty here.

[music intensifies]

-[music pauses]

-[whistle blows]

[music resumes]

[Walker] I knew that that game

would probably be

emotionally a little bit more difficult.

I always thought that, if we lost that,

would me, the group of the senior members,

be able to pick these lads up

to then go again a week later

at a Champions League final?

[commentator 2]

United are back in the cup final.

Rolled home by Bruno Fernandez.

1-1 at Wembley. Both captains on target.

[music intensifies, then ends]

[Rodri] Hey, boys. Hey, come on, guys.

[Phillips] Come on, guys.

-Come on, boys.

-Come on, come on.

[Phillips] Keep going, guys.

[Rodri] Play to the sides.

We don't start and finish in the middle.

[man] Breathe now.

So if we stay higher,

also our starting position

can be more forward.

Are you ready to fight?

They want to provoke the referees,

and the problems and lose our control.

Don't lose our control, guys.

Focus again with the football.

Try to win duels.

Be strong in the moment we arrive.

You were brilliant, guys.

Okay? Because it's not easy. Defend.

The long ba*ls are hard to win.

Manu, you win all the duels

except one in the back.

So stay there.

Try to break the line in attack.

Shaw, attack here.

Now is the moment Fred will come.

Now we have the pass to contact here.

Try to arrive this pass to John.

He is undefendable.

Okay guys? Yes?

[players shouting]

[crowd cheering and singing]

[whistle blows]

[commentator 1] De Bruyne has the chance

from a wide right-wing position

from this free kick.

Delivery is deep, very deep.

Into the edge of the area. Gündoğan again!

[commentator 2] He's got another one!

Not quite so much of a cr*cker.

That one crept into the corner.

But he's done it again for his team.

Manchester City have their lead back.

[dramatic music playing]

[whistle blows]

-[commentator 2] And that is it.

-[fans cheering]

[commentator 2] Manchester City,

FA Cup winners 2023.

[fans cheering]

[Pep] Every hug

Every hug we give to us, everyone say,

"One more to come. One more to go.

One more to go,"

so they feel it that we are in a position

like probably we will never be again.

[players] Campeones, campeones ♪

[commentator 2] A very special day.

A day which no one here

wearing blue will ever forget.

The day that City completed the Double

by beating Manchester United

in the first ever

all-Manchester derby FA Cup final.

Manchester City, FA Cup winners.

Manchester City, Double winners.

And as all the players have been saying,

now one more.

[crowd singing]

[players] Gündo's on fire

Your defense is terrified ♪

Gündo's on fire

Your defense is terrified ♪

Gündo's on fire

Your defense is terrified ♪

-[reporter] This is it now, isn't it?

-[pundit] You smell it. You just feel it.

It's around the club. That nervous energy.

Just exactly where you wanna be.

Another one.

[kisses trophy]

I have two already. I have two.

[Pep laughs]

[interviewer] Did you get any advice

from Elton John on Saturday night?

[Pep] It's Sir Elton John.

We saw him when we landed from London

after FA Cup.

He was incredible kind.

[cheering]

[man] One more!

One more next week, okay?

Come on. Come on.

What's just happened?

[Pep] Oh my gosh. What a legend!

[indistinct speech]

It's better than the cup!

This is better than the cup!

Bye, everyone. Well done!
