After Manchester City were crowned FA Cup champions in a 2-1 win against Manchester United, the winners’ players had a special chant dedicated to Ilkay Gundogan.
The £20 million (BBC Sport) stepped up on derby day to score an outrageous pair of volleys to get his City side over the line on Saturday afternoon.
Not just the Manchester City fans but even the players had a chant specially aimed at Ilkay Gundogan after his masterclass against Manchester United, as seen on ITV Sport.
The Ilkay Gundogan chant sung by the Manchester City players after beating Manchester United in FA Cup final
It seems like any and every one is a fan of the German international, with Phil Foden branding him as ‘clever’ and ‘one of the best’ players he has ever played with.
Aside from the goals as well, Gundogan put in yet another sumptuous display, further cementing his legacy as one of the upper echelon of midfielders of his generation.
After Manchester City beat Manchester United at Wembley Stadium, the FA Cup champions’ players had a chant in place dedicated to Ilkay Gundogan.
“Gundo’s on fire, your defence is terrified!”, sang the likes of Erling Haaland, Ruben Dias, Stefan Ortega, Rodri and Kalvin Phillips alongside the fans.
Ilkay Gundogan should renew his contract at the Etihad Stadium
As Manchester City captain Ilkay Gundogan starred against Manchester United, he must have noted how much the fans as well as his fellow teammates admire him, as they came together to sing a chant dedicated to him.
Not only is Gundogan a favourite within and beyond the dressing room but mainly, he plays for the best team in the world by a country mile.
With the 32-year-old ageing like fine wine, whilst having the chance to win a treble and with Pep Guardiola still contracted to the club until 2025, why leave for any other club?
Ilkay Gundogan should stay put at Manchester City by renewing his contract and adding silverware to his trophy cabinet, while dominating the game while he still can for one of the best club sides of all time.
