Manchester City captain Vincent Kompany has rejected suggestions his side's entire season hangs on whether or not it can overcome Wigan Athletic in the FA Cup final.

City defeated Chelsea 2-1 in the semifinals on Sunday to reach its second final in three years, two years on from the 2011 success against Stoke City that ended the club's 35-year trophy drought.

City failed to make it beyond Christmas in the Champions League and the League Cup, and with Manchester United surging to victory in the Premier League, it leaves the FA Cup as its only chance of silverware.
