Manager Pep Guardiola celebrated the victory which adds silverware to the club's 2025-26 campaign. The result increases the pressure on Arsenal as both teams continue to compete in the Premier League title race.

Arsenal must now redirect their focus to domestic league fixtures to maintain their narrow advantage over the defending champions, according to The Guardian.
