I agree with you, is not easy for the players and the coach of the side, a journey that I never thought would get this far since we all know how crazy this team use to be and now their mentality have changed for good. But coming to the Citizens, as of last season if this chance was given to them it will be a work over for City because the pressure they gave Palace yesterday would have been different and Pep and his boys would have snatched the trophy off Palace, we all know how City played last season and we can't say the Manchester City of last season and the one that played this very finals are the same but all the same congratulations to Crystal Palace and to Henderson who gave his 100% to stop every chances City had to get a goal, especially that penalty...it was a wonderful save.
Finishing in the champions league spot is not going to be a problem for the Citizens because that's all they need right now and they'll surely get it. The remaining two games might not be an easy one since they have been struggling against the smaller teams but I still believe that since they have their scoring machine Haaland in the starting 11 things might go their way. Bournemouth seem to be stubborn in the last 3 games even if they couldn't get all 3pt but they made sure their opponent don't find it easy and that's what will happen against City.
At some point, I'd say that the Crystal palace defense began to rely on their keeper so much that they forgot to do their jobs and would have been sorely punished for it had Man City been more clinical.
Honestly, I'm glad that it's a very different team altogether that won this FA cup because for a long time we've being used to seeing bigger teams win and for a club like Crystal palace to win it doesn't just mean that they've got their first trophy, it means they've changed the narrative so congratulations to them.
Despite the fact that City kept mounting pressure on palace, the fact that they maintained such level head shows that they can absorb pressure and use it to their advantage when it's necessary.
