‘I’ve Never Competed for Silverware Like This’: Semenyo on FA Cup Winning Moment

Antoine Semenyo admitted he had never competed for trophies at this level before after his backheel finish clinched Saturday’s FA Cup final. City’s summer signing, who joined from Bournemouth for £62.5 million following a 2025/26 season of double-figure Premier League goals, helped seal a 1-0 win over Chelsea with a clever finish from an Erling Haaland cross. Reflecting on the goal and advice from his manager, Semenyo said: “Everything happened so fast… I had to improvise as quickly as I could. The first thing Pep Guardiola said to me when I arrived was ‘don’t change your game’. He still wants me to be me and create a bit of chaos. I’ve never competed for trophies like this before, so everything is new to me. Hopefully, we can finish the job off.”
