Manchester City captain Alex Greenwood says playing in a Women’s FA Cup final at Wembley is “one of the best days” you can have in football.
After captaining the team to their first Women’s Super League title in a decade, Greenwood hopes to spur them on to a domestic double.

“The fans really do deserve this. They’ve had some tough days. I think we’ve put them through it a little bit at times,” Greenwood told BBC Sport.
“I would love for this club to experience Wembley in an FA Cup final. For me, it’s one of the best days you can have in football.
“I cannot wait to take the team there. I think to play at Wembley is always iconic, isn’t it? It’s one of the best stadiums in the world.”
Greenwood is the only player in the current City squad who started at Wembley in 2020 when City last won the FA Cup.
Midfielder Laura Coombs, who is retiring in the summer, was an unused substitute that day.
As well as success at Wembley with City, Greenwood was part of the England squad who beat Germany there in the Euro 2022 final.
“Obviously, as an English player, it means a little bit more. But when you play in this league, everyone knows how big the FA Cup is,” she added.
“Once we had secured the league, in my mind I thought: ‘OK, let’s take this club to Wembley.’
“I think we deserve it and it is one of the best days in the football calendar.”
