By his own admission, Vincent Kompany spent the last 45 minutes of his Manchester City career with hands placed on hips. A cathartic half of football surveying Wembley – appreciating the noise, the sense of achievement and the raw ability of his colleagues – with another FA Cup trophy comfortably in the bag.
Watford were two down at the break, eventually beaten by six. Kompany had already told Pep Guardiola two days prior that it was to be his final bow and, looking back, that day represented the perfect farewell. An opportunity to reminisce over 11 years in Manchester.
