    City captain Fernandinho: "It has been a long journey. It is so nice to hear the fans singing my name. When I signed in 2013 I tried to speak a bit of English and it wasn't easy, I tried to learn as much as I can.

    "I used to say that all the titles I have won here are special for me. Someone told me they want me to be one of the leaders and when I look back all of them have been special moments for me."

  19. 'Serial winners' among the players and the staffpublished at 19:28 British Summer Time 23 May 2022

    BBC Radio 5 Live

    Former Everton midfielder Leon Osman says the Manchester City celebrations on the pitch with the players and staff together show this extraordinary club are "one big group".

    There was jubilation at Etihad Stadium as City pulled off a remarkable comeback against Aston Villa to clinch the title and Osman believes the unity between everyone will be contributing to their winning mentality.

    "They are sharing really good embraces," he said on BBC Radio 5 Live's Football Daily podcast. "It's clear the staff are so important to the players as well.

    "These are brilliant scenes and they are just one big group that are now serial winners."

    He also praised Oleksandr Zinchenko after the Ukraine captain came on and changed the game at half-time - and also for his impact on the side despite everything happening in his home country.

    "He received a rousing cheer for what he's going through," he said, "but also because he had a big influence on what happened in the second half in getting City the three points."

  20. 'Everyone played their part'published at 19:24 British Summer Time 23 May 2022

    Man City women manager Gareth Taylor, whose side won the Conti Cup: "Really proud of the players and the whole group, the way we turned it around. We wanted to win the FA Cup but came up against a very good Chelsea side.

    "It wasn't the start we wanted but the availability we had in the second part of the season was great and everyone played their part."

    On finishing ahead of Man Utd: "It is always nice to have the bragging rights."

    On departures of Karen Bardsley and Jill Scott: "Unfortunately time comes to an end in your career but the memories they have left is amazing."
