After finishing his first season in England empty-handed, Pep Guardiola finally collected his first trophy with Manchester City on Sunday. Despite recruiting more than $600 million in talent in around 18 months, Guardiola relied on City's old guard to produce the 3-0 victory over Arsenal in the League Cup final. The victory, aided by Arsenal's brittle defending, allowed City to quickly restore order after Monday's surprise exit from the FA Cup at Wigan. The pursuit of a quadruple was extinguished by the third-tier side, but City is now one step closer to a treble. "I cannot forget how they took care of me last (season)," Guardiola reflected on the Abu Dhabi ownership.
