Man City captain Kompany: Thanks Kepa!

Manchester City captain Vincent Kompany admits he was happy to see Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga refuse to be substituted during their Carabao Cup final triumph.

Chelsea lost on penalties after Kepa refused to be substituted.

And Kompany smiled: "It is a difficult trophy to win, everyone is involved from the young guys at the start to now. Everyone is involved.

"I am always ready to play, I haven't trained much but I am so happy to achieve these things with this wonderful club.

"I know how good Willy Caballero is on penalties, last time we won it he won it for us so I didn't want him to come on! It didn't happen in the end.

"Of course I have never seen it, I wish I could do it whenever I get subbed."
