Pep’s Squad Shuffle for Bournemouth Battle…

Oh, the football drama at Manchester City! Picture a squad bus pulling up like a clown car, but alas, no Savinho pops out. Where was the magical winger during the FA Cup quarter-final against Bournemouth, you ask? He was off playing Dad’s first match—changing nappies at home! Congratulations to Savinho for scoring a life goal: his first baby! Little did the junior footballer know, he timed his entry just before the big match day. Score: Family 1, FA Cup 0.

Meanwhile, Mr. Pep “The Strategic Genius” Guardiola, with a roster thinner than a pizza crust, is down six star players due to injuries. His pep talk is probably sounding like a superhero speech about the last two months of the season being “incredible” and “full of potential.” Captain Positive is rallying the troops to grab some shiny decorations for their trophy cabinet before the season snoozes off and the World Cup party begins!

In Savinho’s absence, the thrill machine that is Bernardo Silva teams up with Phil “Hocus Pocus” Foden on the wings, flanking the invincible Viking, Erling Haaland. Look out, Bournemouth! With a lineup that includes Kevin “The Belgian Wizard” De Bruyne and a bench warmer named Nico “Pricey Rookie” Gonzalez, City is revving up to storm the Vitality Stadium. Next stop, Wembley swag, unless the underdog Cherries pull a rabbit out of their boots!
