“What is life, what is the reason why we live? It is to live these kind of emotions…”

So Pep Guardiola told the BBC in his pre-FA Cup Final interview. By this standard Saturday was another great day for the City manager, as he got to live almost the full range of emotions – from exultation as his players gave another fantastic performance, to fury as a reporter took the opportunity to ask him about money matters.

 

Why do City feel as though they’re not getting the credit they deserve? What more do they have to do?

 

Jonathan Wilson and Rory Smith join us to analyse a week that was the most successful and perhaps the most irritable in the history of Manchester City, and the part the media have themselves played in the apparent decline of trust in their integrity.

We also chat about Kompany’s next move, Mbappé’s bombshell, and a flurry of dubious quotes involving Gareth Bale.
