Pep Guardiola believes his legendary Manchester City players rediscovered their ‘heart and soul’ to secure their place in a seventh successive FA Cup semi-final.
Erling Haaland netted his 30th goal of the season as Guardiola’s side came from behind to beat Bournemouth as Omar Marmoush scored the winner at the Vitality Stadium.
The FA Cup is City’s last realistic hope for silverware after a disappointing season and Guardiola blamed a lack of desire and passion from his all-time greats.
‘What we missed this season was heart, soul, the desire from how we’d done it for many, many years and for a manager the most important thing to recover this passion,’ said Guardiola.
