Chelsea winger Alejandro Garnacho plans 'more Wembley glory' against Man City

The Argentina international has quickly built a strong connection with both the famous stadium and the competition since breaking into senior football during the 2022/23 season. This weekend's clash will be his fourth major cup final appearance at Wembley and his third FA Cup final.

Garnacho lifted the trophy with Manchester United in 2024 and is now hoping to repeat that success with Chelsea.

"I love this stadium and it's always a good feeling to go to Wembley," Garnacho said. "Since the start of my career, I have played there every season and I think that is important.

"Playing another FA Cup final and winning it with Chelsea would be something special."

Manchester City have become familiar opponents for Garnacho in the competition. The winger faced Pep Guardiola's side in both of his previous FA Cup finals and famously scored the opening goal in United's derby victory two years ago.

The 21-year-old still remembers the atmosphere and emotion of that day.

"I remember playing against Manchester City at Wembley," he explained. "The stadium was full and I scored the first goal. Winning the trophy was incredible because it was something I had always dreamed about."

Now Garnacho wants to create more Wembley memories in Chelsea colours as the Blues chase another major trophy.

"A trophy is important for everyone and the FA Cup is a really special competition in England," he added.

"Everyone is excited for the final. We will try to do everything right and hopefully we can win another trophy."
