Following Manchester City's 1-0 victory over Chelsea in the FA Cup semi-final, manager Pep Guardiola received advice to redirect his frustration towards UEFA and FIFA rather than the FA.
This comes after his vocal criticism of the scheduling, which he deemed "unacceptable," particularly in light of his team's recent elimination from the Champions League by Real Madrid.
Guardiola's dissatisfaction centered on the scheduling of matches, questioning why his team, along with Coventry, Manchester United, and Chelsea, had not played during the week.
