Since signing for the Club in the summer of 2023, Doku has helped Pep Guardiolaās side to a Premier League, Carabao Cup and Community Shield triumph.
Now, with City becoming the first-ever English side to appear in four consecutive FA Cup finals, he believes our unprecedented success should be relished.
āI think we as a squad donāt realise what we are doing ā fourth time in a row. Itās unbelievable,ā he declared.
āFair play to everyone in the Club. Every year being there after playing against good teams but still reaching the final every time, now we want to win.
āIāve not won it yet and itās something I want to win. Itās something special.
āIām very happy. It was not easy [against Southampton] at all. We played well. It was a bit compact in the first half but there was more space in the second half and we used it well.
āWe were more effective. They have a very good team and fair play to them. We know we had to keep on going when they scored. We didnāt change our tactics and we kept going.ā
