Pep Guardiola is a "mad man", but Antoine Semenyo is thrilled to be working under the Manchester City boss.

Guardiola won his 20th trophy at Man City, as Semenyo's superb flick sealed a 1-0 win over Chelsea in the FA Cup final.

City have now won the FA Cup eight times. Only Arsenal (14) and Manchester United (13) have won it more often.

Semenyo, who joined the club in January from Bournemouth, has been involved in more FA Cup goals than any other City player this season (five – three goals, two assists).

And asked by TNT Sports what it is like working under Guardiola, Semenyo quipped: "He's a mad man! He's a mad man. We all love him. He's so passionate, he wants to win trophies.

"What he's done for the club has been amazing. I'm so grateful to be here, that he gets to coach me and make me a better player, and he's just a top man."

City are the second side to win both the EFL Cup and FA Cup in the same season more than once (also 2018-19) after Liverpool (2000-01 and 2021-22).

Semenyo is having a stellar season, having scored 20 goals (10 for City, 10 for Bournemouth) and provided six assists (three at City, three at Bournemouth).

"I don't know how to feel right now. I'm quite numb at the moment," Semenyo said.

"I just tried to improvise the best I could – it went in the bottom corner, I can't complain. I've done it a couple of times in training, and luckily I got a good connection. If it goes behind me, I might try a trick or too – it worked, I'm grateful!

"It's been hard work, I'm learning a lot, I've got top pros around me, a top coach. It's been a great four months – long may it continue.

"It shows that hard work pays off. Whatever happens in life, it doesn't mean it's the end. You just keep working hard and get your rewards."
