​Man City veteran Fernandinho: Honour and privilege to captain this club | OneFootball

Manchester City midfielder Fernandinho admits it is an honour to captain the team.

The 36-year-old and his teammates are now Premier League champions after Manchester United lost 2-1 at home to Leicester City on Tuesday.

The Brazilian was delighted at the triumph, and the fact he got to wear the armband this season.

"I am so proud and so happy with what we have achieved," the 36-year-old Brazilian said.

"The Premier League is the hardest league in world football — every single game is tough.

"To win it again means the world to me and the rest of the squad. To captain this team is an honour and a privilege because the players have given their all throughout the season, whether in training or in matches. The teamwork has been amazing.

"Football is everything to us and we strive every single day to be as good as we can be in the hope we can bring success to Manchester City.

"Winning the Premier League title is the ultimate fulfilment of our ambitions.

"It's what we all dreamed of as young players, so to do it is a wonderful feeling."
