Esteemed Kompany host Steven Mcinerney reacts to a hard fought 1-nil win over Chelsea for Manchester City. The win by Pep Guardiola’s side means they will face either Coventry City or Manchester United in this season’s FA Cup final.
Yesterday’s victory at Wembley Stadium was a testament to the determination of this Manchester City squad. Given that they had played 72 hours earlier against Real Madrid, it was a Herculean effort from the FA Cup holders to book their place in this season’s final. Pep Guardiola’s side had every right to feel that yesterday’s game was a bridge too far. But they overcame any doubt and lingering disappointment from their UEFA Champions League exit to beat Mauricio Pochettino’s side.
Bernardo Silva scored the winner for Manchester City at Wembley. It was a moment to savour for the Portuguese international. After having his penalty saved in City’s penalty shootout defeat against Real Madrid, Bernardo had his moment yesterday. The outpouring of emotion from the Manchester City workhorse spoke volumes to what the goal meant to Bernardo Silva. After a tough week for he and his team, Bernardo had a moment to savour at Wembley.
Steven Mcinerney reacts to all of this and more in the video below. It was a fantastic win by Pep Guardiola’s side that will long in the memory.
