Manchester City star Bernardo Silva has warned his team will fight until the end for Premier League honors following their FA Cup success.
On Saturday afternoon, City lifted the trophy again at Wembley. Antoine Semenyo’s stunning backheel was the winning goal.
Pep Guardiola’s side could be even better by the end of the season. They remain in contention for the Premier League title with Arsenal, but they need to drop points against the Gunners with two games remaining.
Outgoing City captain Silva has warned the north London side that the Sky Blues are not yet ready to give up on their chances of winning a domestic double before the end of the season.
He told BBC Sport: “It’s very special. I’m really happy. Everything about my journey at Man City has been great. Hopefully I can still hold onto that little dream of competing for the Premier League.”

“Today we are very happy. It was my last season so it’s special to be able to give them another trophy. Hopefully it’s not the last.”
“We’ve won 20 (trophies) since I’ve been here, so it’s not bad. It was a great goal. There are no favorites in the final. At the beginning of the second half, they started really well. They put constant pressure on us and it wasn’t easy.”
Speaking to TNT Sports, the Portuguese midfielder added: “It will mean a lot. It’s not in our hands, but our job is to do our job on Wednesday and put a little pressure on them so they can win the game to be champions. But we are in a tough position.”

Silva also praised Guardiola, who could leave the club at the end of the season. He added: “He changed the way I looked at football. 80% of my career was spent with him as a manager.”
“Everything I wanted to achieve was with him. Our relationship is very strong, both the frustrations and the achievements. I care very much about Man City. It’s his decision. I have no comment on that. I wish him all the best. It’s been fun to be with him, to have shared all these moments together.”
City return to action on Tuesday night when they take on Bournemouth. They will conclude the season on the final day of the season against Aston Villa.
