Antoine Semenyo expressed his pure joy and optimism after Manchester City secured the 2025-26 EFL Cup (Carabao Cup) with a 2-0 victory over Arsenal in the final at Wembley Stadium on March 22, 2026.
This marked the first major trophy of his professional career, achieved just months after his high-profile January transfer from Bournemouth to the Premier League champions.
The Ghanaian international, reflecting on the milestone in a post-match interview, shared his elation about the achievement while looking ahead with strong confidence. He said he was thrilled and genuinely happy about lifting the cup, emphasizing that this was only the beginning and that he fully expects many more trophies to follow in his journey with the club.
“I’m excited and happy, many more to come. I felt very chilled and relaxed ahead of the final.” He said.
He also opened up about his mindset going into the decisive match, revealing that he approached it with remarkable calm—he felt completely chilled and relaxed in the buildup, showing no signs of nerves despite the high stakes of a Wembley final and the chance to claim his maiden piece of silverware.
The quote perfectly captures Semenyo’s grounded yet ambitious personality: grateful for the moment, faith-driven in his outlook, and already hungry for further success as he continues to shine at one of the biggest clubs in the world.
