Manchester City star Kevin De Bruyne is excited for a return to Wembley.

The Sky Blues booked an FA Cup semi-final against Liverpool thanks to a 4-1 win over Southampton on Sunday.

"Happy (is the reaction). We go back to Wembley and we like to play there," De Bruyne told the club's website.

"We are a step closer to the final. Going to Wembley is always amazing, we have been there many times and hopefully we will play good now."

On City's second-half performance against Saints, De Bruyne added: "We didn't play at our best but after the second goal we did much better.

"The third and fourth goals were beautiful goals and we saw then how good we can play.

"I think the first 20 minutes and the last half an hour we did well. In between we made too many stupid mistakes and even with their goal, we should have just played it out - there were 30 seconds to go until half-time.

"We chose the wrong options and Southampton came back into the game. Not a lot was said at half-time but we had to play better and we did that.

"I think the reaction was really good - the second half, we dominated and we did much better."
