After reviewing the footage, a lip reader believes they know what was said between the pair. According to the lip reader claims Guardiola started the exchange by shouting: "You didn't deserve that. Disgrace."

A surprised Henderson replied: "You still had your 10 minutes." That was in reference to the 10 minutes of injury time that was added on at the end of the game.

They also state Henderson repeated "10 minutes" over and over again to the City boss, who said: "It's not fair play. You should not - it's not fair."

Guardiola was soon pulled away by Palace reserve goalkeeper Matt Turner, while the Eagles' boss also stepped in by giving Henderson a hug, seemingly stopping the exchange in its tracks. In his post-match interviews, Palace's No. 1 backed up the lip reader's claims when asked what was said between the pair.

Speaking to , the ex-United shot-stopper said: "I just went to shake his hand but obviously I think he was disappointed with the time wasting. I said, 'You got the 10 minutes that you wanted.' No hard feelings."

As unhappy as he was with what he considered to be time-wasting or underhanded tactics, Guardiola offered up no excuses for their loss beneath the Wembley arch. The ex-Barcelona boss said: "He (Henderson) defended his position, we defend our position. It's English football. Everyone can do whatever they want.

"We have to score goals. We didn't lose because Henderson did that. They gave nine or 10 minutes extra time but it's a question of rhythm. All the fans are there to let 22 players play.

"When play, they attack and the other team attacks and it's beautiful. But it's a question of the referee. We don't have the rhythm. I understand when it's 87 minutes, 96, but I don't feel it.

"My teams never try because I try to play the game that the people deserve to watch. Saying that, congratulations to Henderson and Palace because they defended really well and we were not able to score a goal."

As well as being their maiden major trophy, Palace's victory at Wembley also books themselves a place in the next season. Meanwhile, Guardiola will have to come to terms with his first year without a trophy since his debut campaign at City, all the way back in the 2016/17 season.
