Wembley Less Important For Man City, Huge For Bournemouth: Iraola On FA Cup QF
FA Cup QF: As AFC Bournemouth set their sights on a potential trip to the iconic Wembley Stadium, the venue which hosts the final and semi-finals of the fabled FA Cup, head coach Andoni Iraola has claimed his side wants the spot more than Manchester City who are looking at a eighth consecutive appearance in the semi-finals of the tournament.
Not only are Bournemouth one of the four teams left in the competition that have never won the FA Cup, but they are the only team remaining that have never even reached the semi-final stage of the competition.
Sunday will mark only the third time that the Cherries have played in an FA Cup quarter-final tie. As Bournemouth and Boscombe Athletic they were beaten 2-1 by Manchester United in 1957, and they lost 3-0 to Southampton in 2021.
