Brittain spoke to Al Mubarak after the trophy presentation to tell him he had to be proud of the way they had conducted themselves during the trophy lift. The City chairman then received similar praise from the FA chair Debbie Hewitt after City had formed a guard of honour following their FA Cup final defeat to United. Obviously, commiserations on losing the game, but never have we seen in the FA Cup final a team put a guard of honour to the winning team. And Manchester City did that'.
