Antoine Semenyo has expressed that the winning mentality of Manchester City has significantly influenced his performance following his remarkable goal against Chelsea in the FA Cup final. The 26-year-old winger showcased his skill by flicking the ball past Robert Sanchez after a low cross from Erling Haaland, delivering what many consider the best goal of his career with just 18 minutes left in the match.

This victory marks Semenyo's second winners' medal since joining City from Bournemouth in January, having already secured the Carabao Cup.

Looking ahead, Semenyo and his teammates are focused on closing the gap with Arsenal in the Premier League title race, starting with a crucial match against Bournemouth on Tuesday. He remarked, “It’s been surreal... We’ve got top pros who have won it all, you learn a lot. It rubs off on you a little bit.”

City must secure a win on Tuesday to keep their title hopes alive. If Arsenal manages to defeat Burnley on Monday, City will need all three points to avoid conceding the title.

Semenyo emphasized the team's focus, stating, “We’re just focused on us... We just have to win our games and apply pressure.”

This match will also be significant for Semenyo, as it marks his return to Bournemouth, where he scored 32 goals in 110 appearances. The Cherries, who are fighting for a spot in the Champions League, are expected to provide a tough challenge. Semenyo acknowledged, “It’s going to be tough... They’re fighting for Europe.”

As the season nears its conclusion, the stakes are high for both teams.
