Speaking of the wild celebrations during a media interaction earlier, Pep Guardiola shared how everyone trained, danced, and laughed a bit while adding that he remembers it as a good memory. The Spanish head coach also shared how 10-15 pizzas were ordered at the City Football Academy and named it as the best moment of the night. 

Pep Guardiola's focus now shifts to their match against Brighton as Man City travel to the AMEX stadium for their next Premier League game before lifting the trophy in front of 10,000 fans against Everton during their last league match of the season.

Brighton vs Man City team news

Pep Guardiola has confirmed first-choice goalkeeper Ederson will start after the Brazilian was rested to hand Scott Carson a surprising debut in their last match. However, the Spaniard is set to be without the services of Sergio Aguero as the Argentine striker suffering from niggles and discomfort in his adductor. Belgium midfielder Kevin De Bruyne missed City's last two games due to an injury but was seen back training with the first team. He could make an appearance off the bench as Pep looks to manage their rest and game time ahead of the Champions League final.

For Brighton, the Seagulls will have to play without a number of first-team stars as Tariq Lamptey and Solly March are ruled out for the season while Neal Maupay and Lewis Dunk and also remain unavailable due to respective red cards against Wolves. Davy Propper and Joel Veltman are also doubtful to start, leaving Graham Potter with limited options to choose from for their clash against the Premier League champions.
