Pep Guardiola sought to temper quadruple talk after his Manchester City side edged into the FA Cup final with a battling 1-0 win over Brighton and Hove Albion at Wembley.

Nevertheless, they secured a return to England's national stadium – where Raheem Sterling dispatched the decisive penalty to see off Chelsea in an EFL Cup final shoot-out in February – and will remain in London ahead of Tuesday's Champions League quarter-final first leg at Tottenham.
