Manchester City set record in FA Cup victory cruise against Norwich

Man City goalkeeper Willy Caballero is a proud man after helping the Blues et a new mark in the FA Cup at Carrow Road.

Caballero is set to keep goal against Hull

Manchester City set a record on Saturday when they fielded five Argentinians in their starting XI.
Willy Caballero, Pablo Zabaleta, Martin Demichelis, Nicolas Otamendi and Sergio Aguero all started for Manuel Pellegrini's side in their 3-0 win over Norwich in the FA Cup third round at Carrow Road – the first time five players from Argentina have played in the same English side.
Caballero says it was a proud day for all of them.
“Yes, of course, it's a day to remember because it's the first time,” he said. “We are really happy for this. It's good for us and Argentina as well.
“This is a good achievement today to win away and keep a clean sheet and now we wait for the draw for the next game.
“We are happy because we played very well the first half. Sergio scored a great goal, so we were comfortable after that.
“We gave a clean sheet away – that's really important for us and we defended really well today.
“We are also in the semi final of the other cup, so we have to be careful and arrive to this day with the same energy as today.”
Caballero has played just two games in the Premier League this season, but Pellegrini has confirmed he will play in every domestic cup match.
With Joe Hart in such excellent form this season, Caballero's chances have been limited, something he says is difficult to deal with.
“It's difficult [not playing every week] but I enjoy this team because it's a big club, a big opportunity, and now I play two games in a week and I feel really comfortable with the team. I'm enjoying every minute.”
