Reward is huge – Iraola issues Bournemouth rallying call for City tie

Andoni Iraola has challenged Bournemouth to “give everything” as they bid to upset Manchester City again and secure the club’s place in the semi-finals of the FA Cup for the first time.


The Cherries recorded a memorable home win over City in their Premier League match at the Vitality Stadium in November.


Having edged past Wolves following a penalty shoot-out to book a spot in the last eight, Iraola accepts the draw could have been kinder than to send Pep Guardiola’s star-studded side back to the south coast on Sunday.


The Bournemouth boss, though, feels everyone at the club can unite to help push the team on to a “dream” trip to Wembley.


“We have a big opportunity. We know the challenge, we know who we face, but the reward is very big,” he told a press conference.


“I don’t know if it is going to be enough to beat City, but everyone has to give everything – the ones who play, the ones who don’t play, us from the bench, the supporters from their place – because at the end, the reward for everyone is huge.


“You face a competition with the chance to play in Wembley, which probably for City, because they have been there a lot of times, is not so important, but for us definitely it is something that we have dreamed of.”
