There is no doubt what so ever who was the hero of this Wembley Final - Willy Caballero no less! Many City supporters myself included hoped that Joe Hart would be between the sticks after Caballero's errors in the game against Chelsea. However Pellegrini is a man of his word and he had promised Willy a place in the Capital One team. To save a penalty is pretty good going but to save three in the penalty shoot-out is simply amazing and I cannot remember any other keeper doing it.
It was not an amazing game with lots of chances but City were the better side and deserved victory. In fact they should have had it sorted much earlier - Aguero should have had a stone wall penalty and Sterling missed a sitter. Though the Liverpool keeper should have saved Fernandinho's goal from a narrow angle he made some brilliant saves to keep Liverpool in the game.
The City defence was again improved with the presence of Vincent Kompany who links well with Otamendi and during the game Caballero had little to do. In front of the back four Fernando did well but up front Sterling missed some chances and was often booed by the Liverpool fans. Silva and Toure had their creative hats on and Aguero was always a danger.
It was a very long day for me leaving home at 7am and getting back at 2am - but worth every second.
