Pep hopes Wembley pain will fuel top-5 bid

Pep Guardiola has urged his Manchester City flops to use the pain from its shock FA Cup final defeat as fuel to salvage its dismal season by qualifying for the Champions League.

Guardiola's side will finish without any major silverware for the first time in eight years after crashing to a 1-0 defeat against Crystal Palace at Wembley on Saturday.

The Spaniard believes City can still save some face this season by securing a top-five finish in the Premier League, which guarantees it a place in the Champions League next term.
