Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola had some special praise for his players after they made FA Cup history on Saturday night.
The Citizens recorded a 2-0 win over Newcastle United thanks to Bernardo Silva's brace and secured their place in the semi-finals.
As a result, Man City became the first team in FA Cup history to reach six consecutive semi-finals.

“After we won the treble, and five titles, we’re coming to the international break with two months left and to be in contention for all the titles means a lot,” the City boss said.
“I know people talk about the Premier League, the Champions League, but to have won four Carabao Cups and (reach) six FA Cup semi-finals in a row, this team, this club, has something special, so it’s incredible.
“Of course we want to win all of them but sometimes this is not possible basically for the quality of the opponents and the schedule we have…but we were there six times in a row.
“Always you can have a bad night or a bad afternoon and to be there six times, you didn’t have a bad night. And for those that doubt the consistency of the team you prove they are wrong.”
The Citizens remain in contention to win the treble once again, as they are still in the Premier League title race and the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League.
