AKE: I’M VERY HAPPY WITH CARABAO CUP SUCCESS
In his interview with City Studios after the game, the Portuguese admitted that winning a trophy will always provide a special feeling.
“Finals are always a special game where you have to deal with your emotions well,” he began. “The game is normally decided on small details.”
“Today the performance was really good from the team. To be able to have that feeling that yes, we can do it, it’s huge for the future of this Club.
“I’m really proud, really happy for us and for them [younsters]. Hopefully we can still fight for the next two trophies in the last months of the season.
“For sure, Wembley is always special. Giving a trophy back to the Club and to the fans is always very special. So we’re really happy.”
Bernardo also provided special praise for O’Reilly after his goalscoring heroics and touched on our ambitions for the rest of the season.
