Man City captain Vincent Kompany: We're best team in the world

Manchester City captain Vincent Kompany has declared themselves the best team in the world after winning the FA Cup.

It is the first time in history an English team has won the men's domestic treble - the Premier League, FA Cup and Carabao Cup.

City have now lifted five of the past six domestic trophies available.

"What a club, what a privilege," Kompany told BBC Sport.

"It started with the manager, he sets the standard at the start of the season and said we had to go back-to-back [Premier League titles].

"It's the best team in the world for me. To set such a high standard for so long - not just for one year but two years running now."
