Darts sensation Luke Littler has told Pep Guardiola that his Manchester City team were outplayed in the FA Cup final by Manchester United, despite the Spaniard claiming his side were the better team on the day.

United put in a strong performance to win the FA Cup final over their biggest rivals to mark their disastrous season with a positive ending, beating the reigning champions 2-1 at Wembley Stadium. United weren’t given much of a chance before kick off, but found themselves 2-0 up by half-time thanks to goals from teenage stars Alejandro Garnacho and Kobbie Mainoo.




Littler constantly posts about United on social media and his love for the team has even been shown at the darts, as he trolled local fans when the Premier League Darts was hosted in Liverpool. Now, Littler has turned his attention to City, slamming Guardiola for his comments after losing the final to United.

“When Pep Guardiola said after the final that City played the better football, no chance,” Littler told Mirror Football in New York ahead of the U.S. Darts Masters. “We deserved it, and they shouldn’t have scored as well. I was just confident anyway.”

Despite starting the likes of Erling Haaland, Phil Foden, Kevin De Bruyne, and Bernardo Silva in attack, City struggled to create chances and only found a breakthrough after Jeremy Doku came off the bench. Even his effort needed some good fortune, as United goalkeeper Andre Onana fumbled his shot into the side netting.

United deserved the victory and their win put a dampener on City’s end of season celebrations, despite winning a record fourth-straight Premier League title. Guardiola was unhappy after the final whistle and admitted he made some tactical errors, but still maintained that City were the better team.

When being asked if the better team won, Guardiola said: “No. They didn’t have the chances that we had. In the second half, we were there all the time. United have been a transition team for 10, 20, 30 years.
