Liverpool's Luis Garcia has been named as the FA Cup's "Player of the Round" for the semi-finals - and completes this season's "Team of the FA Cup". The attacking midfielder helped the Reds to the final with a stunning goal in their semi-final win over Chelsea.
He polled over 37% of the votes on the Football Association's website, beating team-mate Xabi Alonso and West Ham's Yossi Benayoun and Marlon Harewood.
Garcia will not be able to play in the final because of suspension.
The winner in each round receives an engraved silver salver, a VIP seat at the FA Cup Final and �1,000 worth of Umbro kit for a local school, club or organisation.
Supporters have voted for their favourite player of each round on the FA's website.
Garcia will join Liverpool's Steven Gerrard and Jamie Carragher, Bolton's Ricardo Gardner, Nuneaton's Gez Murphy, Doncaster's Dave Mulligan, Northwich's Paul Brayson (who won the award twice), Eastbourne's Stuart Tuck, Leamington's Alex Rodman and Gosport Borough's Jamie Laidlaw in this season's "Team of the FA Cup".
