While Guardiola stands alone as the only manager to complete the domestic cup double twice, City have also joined an exclusive group of clubs to achieve the feat. Only four sides have ever won both the League Cup and FA Cup in the same season, with City now matching Liverpool as the only clubs to accomplish it twice.
The history books show that Arsenal first achieved the milestone in 1992-93, followed by Chelsea in 2006-07, while Liverpool completed the double in 2000-01 and again in 2021-22. The city's latest triumph adds further weight to their modern dominance, particularly given that they are also the first side in history to reach eight consecutive FA Cup semi-finals.
