Pep Guardiola will be returning to Wembley in his debut season with Manchester City after goals from David Silva and Sergio Aguero handed them an expected FA Cup quarter-final victory at Middlesbrough.
Guardiola won the European Cup as a player and manager with Barcelona at England’s national stadium and now faces an FA Cup semi-final there as reward for naming a strong team at The Riverside despite having a Champions League tie in Monaco on Wednesday.
Silva gave them the advantage as the clock ticked just past the two-minute mark and after Aguero had struck the post, he bagged his 24th goal of the season after a great run by man-of-the-match Leroy Sane.
