Does it affect anyone? Declan Rice spoke frankly after Arsenal lost 0-2 to Manchester City in the 2025-26 Carabao Cup final.
On 23 March 2026 GMT+7, does it affect anyone? English midfielder Declan Rice spoke candidly after the "Gunners" Arsenal were defeated by the "Sky Blues" Manchester City, led by Spanish coach Pep Guardiola, with a score of 0-2 in the 2025-26 Carabao Cup final.
The Manchester blue team scored two goals in the second half, at the 60th and 64th minutes, both by Nico O'Reilly, securing the first title of the year for Pep Guardiola's squad, who still have two more trophies to compete for: the Premier League and the FA Cup.
Recently, Declan Rice commented on the defeat to Manchester City in this match: "Honestly, it was very disappointing and extremely tough. This is a final you don't want to lose, but in the end, we gave them two chances. Ultimately, we have to look at ourselves. The game might have been different if we'd scored in the first half. I think we had many opportunities then. But we will keep moving forward because there are still many good things to look forward to toward the end of the season."
