Erling Haaland and Omar Marmouche ensured Manchester City retained the trophy this season with a 2-1 win over Bournemouth to reach the FA Cup semi-finals.
Pep Guardiola's men trailed until Evanilson's half-time goal after Haaland missed an astonishing hat-trick of goals in six minutes and Bournemouth were on course for their first finals appearance in the club's history.
However, Haaland restored parity after the break and then, after being substituted due to injury, Marmos scored the decisive goal to ensure the team would face Nottingham Forest at Wembley Stadium.
So, despite all the debate about a new – or at least almost new – name on the cup this season, the chances of City lifting the trophy again look pretty good.
In fact, they should have been three points ahead after 16 minutes if not for Haaland's incredible misses.
The Norwegian striker missed his first golden chance when he headed wide from six yards after receiving a pass from Matheus Nunes.
Things got even worse for Haaland after Tyler Adams was penalised for a handball in the penalty area.
The 24-year-old stepped up to take the penalty but Cherries goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga anticipated his intentions and made a superb save, deflecting the ball low to his left.
