The FA Cup is one of the most historic and treasured cup competitions in world football.
The English competition regularly provides massive upsets as clubs from various divisions compete against one another.
While all eyes might be on the 2022 World Cup this season, the FA Cup is one of those trophies every player dreams of winning.
Simply playing at Wembley in the competition is special enough for some and there will no doubt be more magical moments in 2022/23.
