It's the fourth time in a row we are here and in the past against Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpol we could not do it. 

Today we performed and we were confident after coming from Miunich. We have to try and perform well and we did really well. Players came from the bench. Really satisfied for all the Club after many years to be in the FA Cup final.

Riyad will be taking the match ball home with him tonight...

"It feels very good [to score a hat-trick]. The most important thing is that two or three seasons in a row we've come here in the semi-finals and lost. Today, we wanted to make sure we got to the final. I think I had a good game.

"I don't know really which goal was the best. It's a good team achievement and we took the game seriously.

"It means a lot to be in final. We really want to work hard in every competition going. We're in the final of the FA Cup which is amazing. Now we have to concentrate on the league and the next game against Arsenal.

"We have a very good squad and a very good team. We have to keep going."

We had a whopping 78% possession today.

In the end, we had 11 shots and 11 corners.

We'll discover our opponents on 3 June tomorrow afternoon. Manchester United will face Brighton in the second semi-final.

We have faced Brighton on three occasions in FA Cup, with the most recent meeting a 1-0 win in the semi-final in 2019.

This would be the first Manchester derby in a major final, with our last meeting at Wembley being the 1-0 victory in the 2011 semi-final.
