Manchester City chase domestic treble as Guardiola reaches 20 trophies with FA Cup triumph

Manchester City completed a domestic treble bid after winning the FA Cup for the eighth time, defeating Chelsea 1-0 at Wembley with a brilliant goal from Antoine Semenyo. Pep Guardiola has now won 20 trophies with the club.

Manchester City are looking to complete a domestic treble for the second time in seven years as they face Bournemouth in the Premier League. The treble bid comes after a brilliant back-heel flick from Antoine Semenyo 18 minutes from the end gave them the FA Cup for the eighth time in their history, defeating Chelsea 1-0 at Wembley.

The FA Cup triumph follows City's EFL Cup success against Arsenal earlier in the season, and takes Pep Guardiola's trophy tally to 20 with the club. A Premier League title would see them complete the domestic treble of league, FA Cup and EFL Cup in the same season.

Manager Guardiola reflected on the FA Cup final, saying the game started well with 30-35 minutes of strong play, but admitted the final pass was not good enough. He praised his team for finding the goal at the right moment and controlling the game afterwards, despite Chelsea having some chances.

City's pursuit of the Premier League title has been one of the defining storylines of the season. With their cup double already secured, a league victory would cement another historic campaign for the club and further establish Guardiola's legacy as one of the most successful managers in English football history.
