Pep Guardiola’s squad has not measured up in this campaign to the high expectations from earlier seasons.

Where to go from here?
The Norway international is upbeat in spite of the obstacles. The FA Cup final with Crystal Palace presents an opportunity for redemption.
He added: “It is a good habit to reach Wembley and always important to win trophies. We have the FA Cup final to play for and in a horrific season we still managed to do this.”
