Leicester City boss Brendan Rodgers says his side have the chance to create history after reaching their first FA Cup final since 1969 at the expense of Southampton at Wembley.
Kelechi Iheanacho s second-half goal proved decisive for the Foxes, whose last major final of any description came in 2000, when they lifted the League Cup. That is what this game is about, creating a memory, said Rodgers, who is yet to win major silverware in English football, but won seven trophies in less than three years as manager of Celtic. I have been made aware since I ve been at Leicester how important this cup is for the supporters.

Barcelona scored four goals in 12 minutes - including a brilliant strike from Lionel Messi - to thrash Athletic Bilbao and win the Copa del Rey.
Barca were frustrated until the 60th minute when Antoine Griezmann turned in Frenkie de Jong s cross before De Jong headed in himself three minutes later.
Messi then drove from his own half, exchanged twice with De Jong and found the bottom corner for Barca s third.
Messi added his second four minutes later, sweeping in Jordi Alba s cross.
Victory gives Barca their first trophy under manager Ronald Koeman and their first silverware since 2019. To win a title is important for me, said Koeman, whose side are third in La Liga - two points behind leaders Atletico Madrid.

Swiss billionaire Hansjoerg Wyss has decided to drop out of a group that was bidding for Tribune Publishing Co (TPCO.O), the New York Times and Bloomberg News reported on Saturday.
The decision was made in recent days after Wyss associates examined the Tribune s finances as part of a due diligence process, according to the NYT report, which cited people with knowledge of the matter.
Wyss had come to believe it would be difficult for him to realize his ambition of transforming The Chicago Tribune, the paper he was most interested in, into a national publication, the New York Times said.

More than 100 U.S. companies including Apple Inc, Amazon.com Inc, Ford Motor Co and Starbucks Corp have declared their opposition to voting curbs that a number of states are considering implementing.
Activist groups say the restrictions - outlined in voting rights bills already passed in Georgia and being weighed in, among others, Texas and Arizona - are specifically targeting Black people and other racial minorities. We all should feel a responsibility to defend the right to vote and oppose any discriminatory legislation or measures that restrict or prevent any eligible voter from having an equal and fair opportunity to cast a ballot, the companies said in a letter published as a two-page advertisement nyti.ms/3e0fvnL in Wednesday s New York Times.

Real arrived at Anfield protecting a 3-1 lead from the first leg and while they eventually went through in relative comfort Liverpool will curse themselves for missing several glorious first-half chances.
Mohamed Salah shot straight at Real keeper Thibaut Courtois, who also saved well from James Milner, in the opening moments and shot over when he should have hit the target while Georginio Wijnaldum was also guilty of squandering an opportunity to at least apply pressure to Zinedine Zidane s side.
Real s best chance saw Benzema drive in a shot that was deflected on to the post, while Courtois was in action again to block Roberto Firmino s angled shot after the break.
