After finishing runners-up in 1989/1990 and 2015/2016, Crystal Palace won the 2024/2025 FA Cup.
This is the first major trophy in the South London club’s history, with Palace having previously had just two second-tier titles and a third-tier title in their honours list.
The FA Cup trophy will now take pride of place in their trophy cabinet after they beat Manchester City 1-0 thanks to Eberechi Eze‘s 16th-minute goal.
Needless to say, the Eagles had tough competition to overcome on Saturday.
Their mental, physical, and tactical efforts had to be on point in order for them to have a chance to win against a far stronger Man City side.
One man, in particular, that Crystal Palace had to make strong efforts to contain was City captain Kevin De Bruyne, who’d scored a goal and made an assist versus the Eagles in a 5-2 Premier League win for City just over a month earlier.
Our tactical analysis of the 2024/2025 FA Cup Final shares an in-depth analysis of the Oliver Glasner defence tactics, which contained Kevin De Bruyne and kept him and City quiet on Saturday.
Filippo Inzaghi has led Pisa to their first promotion from Serie B to Serie A in 34 years, a massive achievement for the club and their fans.
Before this, Inzaghi did not have very successful periods with the clubs he coached after he retired from playing football.
He coached Milan, Venezia, Bologna, Benevento, Brescia, Reggina, and Salernitana before joining Pisa this season and leading them to Serie A.
His previous achievements include leading Venezia from Lega Pro to Serie B and ensuring the promotion of Benevento from Serie B to Serie A as Champions with seven games remaining.
In this tactical analysis, we will explore Inzaghi’s footballing philosophy and tactics with I Nerazzurri.
This head-coach analysis will shed light on Pisa’s remarkable strengths and Inzaghi’s effective implementation of the 3-4-2-1 shape.
