A FOND FAREWELL 🤝

Thank you, as ever, for joining us this evening on our Matchday Centre as Ben Wilkinson's young charges lifted the FA Youth Cup. 

What a night and occasion at the Etihad Stadium as the Class of 2024 wrote their name in our history book as the fourth City Under-18s side to lift the historic trophy. 

Stay close to the Official Man City App and mancity.com for all the reaction from the team as the celebrations continue. 

We'll catch you next time. 

COME ON CITY 💙

What an evening!

A clinical and sublime performance this evening by City's Under-18s. 

They've worked hard for each other and been poised in front of goal as well as harmonised in defensive duties. 

It couldn't have gone much better for Ben Wilkinson's team this evening.
