Semenyo: I want the feeling of lifting trophies consistently Antoine Semenyo says he’s hooked on the feeling of winning silverware after his first career winner’s medal in the Carabao Cup last month. The 26-year-old joined City in January and has had a significant impact on our improved form in the second half of the campaign, scoring eight goals in 20 appearances so far.

“I’ve never been in a team that’s competed and I hadn’t had the feeling of winning trophies before. I want to do that on a consistent basis. “I couldn’t believe what was happening after winning the cup final to be honest, walking up the steps at Wembley.

That’s no easy task when starting work with Pep Guardiola, whose demands of his players are unlike any other manager. However, the winger had a seamless transition and made it clear just what an impact Guardiola is already having.
