"Everything happened so fast to be honest. It came straight to me and I had to improvise myself as quickly as I can."I have never competed for trophies like this before, so everything is new to me. Hopefully, we can finish the job off."It is a good finish, I can't lie. As a kid I have always wanted to be playing for the top teams - it took a long time to get there, but I am grateful."The first thing he [Pep Guardiola] said to me when I came was 'don't change your game'. He knows we control the game a lot, he still wants me to be me, still create a bit of chaos."I don't think there will be much celebrations tonight it is getting ready for Tuesday." get involvedGet Involvedpublished at 17:44 BSTClick 'Get Involved' to have your say Relief!

As speculation swirls around the Catalan's future, it could be his last.However, Semenyo's invaluable contribution could yet lead to a domestic treble, even though City face a tough assignment at the Ghana international's old stomping ground on Tuesday. Arsenal are very much in control of their own destiny with two games to play in the Premier League title race.The run to take the title battle to the wire arguably began when City claimed a deserved 2-0 win over Arsenal in the Carabao Cup final, but this game lacked the intensity and quality of that March encounter.Erling Haaland – who has now remarkably failed to score in seven major finals since joining City – had the ball in the net before the half hour but Matheus Nunes was clearly offside before crossing for the Norway superstar to tap home.Chelsea grew into the match as the interval approached, and Joao Pedro had penalty appeals waved away in stoppage time when he tumbled under a shoulder charge from Abdukodir Khusanov.Omar Marmoush was a surprise starter ahead of Rayan Cherki for City and Guardiola sent on the France playmaker at halftime, his team having lacked attacking rhythm. Cherki was instantly involved, teeing up Nico O'Reilly for a left-wing cross that Semenyo headed over.City then struggled as Rodri felt the pace on his return from injury. Chelsea could not turn their pressure into chances, though, and fell behind to a moment of inspiration in the 72nd minute.Semenyo with a stunning finish to give Manchester City the lead at Wembley 🔥📺 Watch live on TNT Sports and HBO Max pic.twitter.com/ZMVKJ9htGi— Football on TNT Sports (@footballontnt) May 16, 2026Bernardo Silva slipped a pass down the right channel, where Semenyo held his run, knowing he'd strayed into an offside position. That left Haaland to pick up the pieces. He cut the ball back across goal and Semenyo executed a delicious backheel into the bottom left corner.Interim Chelsea boss Calum McFarlane saw his team acquit themselves well for the most par...
