In a remarkable demonstration of skill and audacity, Manchester City claimed the FA Cup through a breathtaking back-heel goal by Antoine Semenyo. The match, held at Wembley Stadium, saw City defeat Chelsea 1-0, with Semenyo's 72nd-minute strike proving decisive.

Manchester City, under Pep Guardiola's leadership, remains on course for a domestic treble, having already secured the English League Cup and trailing Arsenal by just two points in the Premier League. The FA Cup victory adds to Guardiola's impressive tally of 17 major trophies with City.

Chelsea, facing a tumultuous season marked by multiple managerial changes, ended the campaign without silverware. Despite the turmoil, interim coach Calum McFarlane managed to hold City at bay for extended periods. However, Semenyo's goal shattered their resistance and sparked celebrations as City fans sang 'Blue Moon' in jubilation.
