Folowing the win Kompany said : “I’m pleased and happy for the players. It’s a very special feeling, we have made memories today, We still don’t have the silverware, but we have made memories. There is already one milestone that has been achieved, and one achievement that cannot be taken away from us, I am really happy for the club and for everybody involved. This is special. I still have to say that the best moment will be if we get the trophy, and that is not the case yet.”
