Fans and players are compelled by the dream of the championship, thinking a lot of thoughts. The reality is

The Blue Moon has made huge strides this season, from the end of a big championship run, to a big home defeat earlier this season, to walking hand in hand with the dream of four championships in the last three months. Their season is still full of possibilities and can still end successfully.
Due to the automatic passive between chasing the four crowns, the Blue Moon formation has recently undergone a succession of significant rotations, and also always had the power to do so. Lose to

Yes.

Only the 3rd loss in the last 31 games in all competitions. Without a strong formation and successful rotations, the Blue Moon can't go that far in the fourth line, can't stir up that much expectation. And the difficulty of the four crowns lies in the fact that the slightest slip-up and the aspirations are over.
After the game, Guardiola lashed back at the criticism that his rotation of eight men for the game was disrespectful to the FA Cup. The starting point for this criticism contains

The reality that the Blues returning from the tournament had a day's rest more than the Blue Moon so outraged Guardiola.
"How dare you say we are not focused on this battle?"

Said: "How dare you say that Sterling, Torres and Jesus don't have the ability to start? For a team fighting to reach the final in all competitions, you can't look at it how you want and just say we lost. But as soon as we lose, then the manager's decision is wrong - that's a very weak view."
Guardiola added: "If we hadn't focused, we wouldn't have reached the semi-finals of the FA Cup and we wouldn't have reached our fourth consecutive League Cup final, together with the
European crown
Semi-finals. We've played so many games in the FA Cup in the last four to five years, how can we do it if we don't focus on it?"
Leaving the FA Cup.

With three titles still up for grabs, the rotations and the debates that arise from them will continue. Guardiola has previously mocked the media's make-or-break attitude on more than one occasion. At the cost of an FA Cup exit.

The manager expects to earn a more forgiving existence for his team, "What would you have said if we had won?"
