Manchester City matchwinner Bernardo Silva says reaching the FA Cup final was for the fans.

Bernardo struck on 84 minutes as City defeated Chelsea 1-0 in Saturday's semifinal. It was a huge moment for the Portuguese, who missed his penalty in the midweek shootout defeat to Champions League opponents Real Madrid.

I'm very happy, because of another spot in the final," he said. Another chance to win a title for this club. This team deserves it after a disappointing week for all of us.

It was good to come here to Wembley and give this chance to our fans to fight for another title.

It was very frustrating [losing to Real Madrid on penalties], but this is football.

The way the team fought to give this happiness to our fans and the chance for them to come to Wembley again and to fight for another FA Cup, we couldn't be happier right now."
