Manchester City fans were asked if they wanted to beat Manchester United in the FA Cup final or win the Champions League for the first time.
It could indeed be a nightmare scenario for United and a dream one for City, as the season enters the famous 'end of business' phase that will determine the trophies that will be won. where to go.
City looked good as they won all three major trophies and equalized United's treble in 1998/99, becoming only the second English team to do so.
Madrid's draw on Tuesday night, thanks in part to Kevin de Bruyne's brilliant strike, gave them a huge advantage for all three.

One team that can stop them is United, who will face them at Wembley in the FA Cup final on June 3, in Manchester's first derby in a major cup final. And it seems that those who have been to Madrid would rather win this match than a possible final in Istanbul, with AC Milan or Inter Milan, as you can see in the video below.
The only trophy left that City haven't won, especially since taking over in 2008, is the Champions League and that's usually their top priority.

Pep Guardiola has not won it since beating United against Barcelona in 2011, the second time in three years the two sides have met in the final.
He didn't win it with the Bayern Munich side that just won the treble under Jupp Heynckes and he didn't win it with Man City.
The Premier League champions have played just one final, losing to Chelsea thanks to Kai Havertz's goal in the 2021 final in Porto. Obviously, those things don't matter to their fans, who think that edging out local rivals is even more important.

City and United have only met in the semi-finals before, in both the FA Cup and League Cup, as well as in the Community Shield.
On Wednesday night, Guardiola's side faced their toughest task of the season as they faced reigning European champions Real at the Bernabeu.
After being dominant in the early game, the visitors fell behind thanks to Vinicius Junior's excellent goal from a beautiful counter-attack. Advertisement
De Bruyne's goal then came as Los Blancos were leading and controversial, as the Spanish giants believed the ball was out of service.
