Gundogan: “This club will always be close to my heart”

If that 2023 FA Cup final had been played in the 1970s or 1980s, when the FA Cup final was still the biggest occasion in the English football calendar, they'd have been calling it The Gundogan Final ever since.

In one game he scored the fastest ever goal in an FA Cup final, the winning goal in the FA Cup final and both of his team's goals (both of them classy volleys from outside the area), and then he lifted the trophy itself as captain.

Struggling to think of many individual FA Cup final performances that match it.
 
Deserves a statue of his own when he retires. The only treble winning captain of an English side who lifted all three trophies.

(Keane lifted the Premier League & FA Cup, Ferguson & Schmeichel lifted the European Cup).
Deserves a statue for the first 30 seconds of the cup final alone, talk about settling my nerves
