Manchester City won the 2026 FA Cup title on Saturday after securing a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Chelsea FC in the final.
The closely contested encounter saw both teams battle intensely for control, but City capitalised on a decisive moment through Semeyo, whose goal proved enough to hand Pep Guardiola’s side another major domestic trophy.
Despite enjoying periods of possession and pressing for an equaliser, Chelsea were unable to break down Manchester City’s disciplined defensive setup.
City maintained their narrow advantage until the final whistle, frustrating Chelsea’s attacking efforts in the closing stages of the game.
The triumph adds to Manchester City’s growing collection of silverware and marks another successful campaign for the Premier League champions under manager Pep Guardiola.
For Chelsea, the defeat further compounded a disappointing season, with the loss effectively ending their hopes of securing qualification for European competition next season.
