The Pep Stand? The Guardiola End? Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has made so many trips to Wembley Stadium that he joked he feels "disappointed" by not being given any recognition at the venue.
On Saturday, the Spaniard will lead City out at the national stadium for the 24th time in a semi-final or final of an English domestic cup competition.
City won the Carabao Cup by beating Arsenal in March and are aiming to make it a double by claiming the FA Cup against Chelsea.
"I am disappointed they have not made a stand for Pep," he joked with a smile. "So many times I have been there, at least a lounge or a box or something like that. Maybe I have to go 24 more times!
"It is still a special place - since I went with Barcelona when I won the first Champions League with my club, and then against Manchester United second time as a manager."
City are competing in a record fourth consecutive FA Cup final but have been beaten in the past two by Crystal Palace and Manchester United.
Guardiola add: "I have been many times since I have been here. We win, lose, win. It is really good to go to Wembley again. It's going to be a good game. Top.
