City win FA Cup for eighth time with victory over Chelsea

City captain Bernardo Silva says it’s yet another moment to remember as he approaches the end of a glittering career at the Etihad Stadium.

“The FA Cup is a really, really special competition. To win it means so much all the players, management and staff,” he stated.

“After nine years at the Club, I know how much this trophy means to our fans. They have to come to Wembley so often, which we know isn’t easy for them, but they are always behind us. It makes days like this even better knowing they are with us.

“Being able to lift another trophy at Wembley, where we have played so many times, is such a special feeling - one I never take for granted. To do so as captain makes this one of the best days of my career.

“Having already won the League Cup this year, this young team have now got a taste for trophies. I feel sure they will go on and win many more titles in the years to come.”

City will now switch focus to the end of the Premier League season, where we remain in contention for an 11th top-flight title in our history.

Everyone at Manchester City would like to send their congratulations to Pep, his backroom staff and the players on yet another success.
