FULL MATCH | Manchester City v Chelsea | Semi-Final | Emirates FA Cup 2023-24

a game they should have won in extra time. Manchester City might be feeling the same during the week just gone, so Phil Foden gets us going with the ball back to Stephan Ora. The Manchester City goalkeeper. A very solid substitute for Edison. There's not much between them. Jon Stones. Who will be Nally as central defender? But we will see him a lot in the midfield. Manchester City will not want to see him assaulted like this in midfield. Cole Pala came back and robbed him, but here he is feeling his leg. C Palmer is already down, oh my god that is a real blow for Chelsea which proves to be the end of him.

He's not really moving well when AK takes the ball out of play and Palmer falls on his axes 40 seconds in, it was his first involvement as he says screw a tackle, well let's hope it's a hit to the ankle instead of a thigh problem, he just limps away here. Chase back is actually going to play behind Jackson and it looks like he's going to see the Gallager player on the left side, crazy. stays on the right here is Gallagher kukara opportunity for City last challenge Challenge from Thiago Silva prevents it Gish then narrowly misses Bernardo Silva was not quite ready for the pass there was the last challenge and what moment could this pass from Beena have No It's a good pass, Tago Silva almost gets there at the end he still has a little spring in those legs. 49 year old legs that one briefly intercepted Ki and here is Madw finding Jackson M staying in front of Mad and happy to accept the touch.

He takes the boot and goes down and receives a free kick. He's got some rhythm. M is located on the right side. Carl seems to be doing well at the moment. Hope

y it was just a kick to the ankle when he made the tackle instead. the thigh problem we were talking about earlier 11 goals in his last six games, four and one just on Monday night officially the fastest perfect hatrick in the history of the English Premier League, that's the left foot, the right foot and a header they had done in 29 minutes. Everton finished inside. 29 minutes now funnel to power up and Jackson just hits him and trips him, driving forward from behind.

Aangi, we saw him midweek, but he was playing a slightly different role, one that Jon Stones is playing today, Jackon just touching Micks' ankle. there he did it with the hair of the day, perhaps a bit of an offer to the Chelsea fans after his involvement in the unseemly penalty. A, the only thing that messed up on Monday night, I think it was a bit over the top, everything was resolved pretty quickly, that's to be expected. So shouldn't you have started after a wonderful Chelsea performance? In general, Thiago Silva and Kevin De Bruyne caught up with him and Thiago Silver again has to make one of those last desperate interventions and that was to atone for what he did.

The man Kevin De Bruyer almost did it in a really slow game from Thiago Silva. He didn't look very confident on defense from the start of this game. Kukara's pass. That bit of sloppy play from Thiago Silva could have left a clean sheet. on Monday but they have conceded two or more in seven of their last eight games k another the silver but only returned briefly in the sky blue the royal blue man has it again now Kara manages to stretch Anan petrovich it is the sixth meeting at Wembley of These two big clubs and Manchester City are unbeaten in the last four.

Chelsea won for the first time in 1986 in the Cup

, now a

member of Long Gone, 5-4. However, I can say that in greish brri the sweep towards Bernardo Silva Kyle Walker berardo Sil and Fernández is behind him for the connection benf Jack greish now there is a greish austo who is playing with greish stopping a clear run on either side of him R As crazy as he kicks Palmer and Jackson sidestep a cani very clearly, then AK stops him and Michael Oliver is quite happy that Jackson took the ball fairly cleanly, a good game to start with, but also good to get mom back to cover Aangi's very underrated player, Nathan. a and another ex-Chelsea player never really managed to make a solid first-team breakthrough at Stord Bridge, that's breaking the industry shown by Gallagher and the ball passed for a chance to shoot and Ora was ready for that from Nicholas Jackson, so Walkers tried claim. a foul here, but both sides have been a bit careless with the ball, but they are trying to play from the back, there's the first challenge, Gallagher won it mate, with a really good pass, you can see he's on the side, Jackson just couldn't pull it off.

He was off his feet enough to know that Walker's recovery run will always be quick, he simply lost his balance and slipped when he hit him. Nathan AK on the left, who was playing with him, might not have been the only Gallagher Kara, he is right behind Fernandez. and now D will catch him and try to run with him two behind him without fail again the referee watches closely tarma gets angry against a he ran out of space at the end in fact he was deflected he has an interesting corner to see that Gusto didn't try to overlap it and realized that Ed AK was going to go One on One against Nathan akth.

Nathan AK is a good defender, there's no doubt about that. Well, eight minutes, Stuart, if you attack, we attack both teams looking good going forward and not so good. at the back both sides are a bit heavy when trying to play from the back, I'm not sure Connor Gallager is particularly happy playing on the left side but he is the club captain or team captain at the moment do the job cha bet on reaching the League Cup and FA Cup

final

s in the same season for what would be a joint record for the third time two years ago losing both finals to Liverpool gager in Silva could not do nothing with him, greish has done what he had to do with him, which is usually Thiago Silva's goal for those balls played in the area in set pieces much better than the air than what he recognized for Thiago Silva's goal when these teams met at snord Bridge in November. a magnificent tie 44 here is De Bruer and wins a corner LeBron is the player who has a little freedom to go wherever he wants, sometimes he will start in the inside right position, he will move to the left, he will come out wide with Bernardo Silva to create the overload, it's a corner for his team, here's Jon Stones, his only goal this season came from a very clever corner near the post in Liverpool, de bruyne took that one and it's available here for Álvarez who is now going to deliver he left back I think rodri kept him in but it's pretty easy for Petrovic Chala just seems to give an extra air of solidity to Chelsea Trevor Chala having been ruled out until February this season or what is Petrovic doing here Not much solid about what they got from this, but for how long I have to say that Kaedo did very well in handling that Kevin De Bruyne was closing him down.

The only personal assistant he had was to get it absolutely right and smell it. the corner asks for trouble if they play from behind so Chelsea here is rodri Álvarez returns to pick it up, but now he lost it and tried it he did not achieve the elevation, but he instantly knew where Orga would be now Álvarez in that pocket again freeing Bernardo Silva Kukar is enough fast, he didn't quite get the angle of the pass right. Alvarez was the player who caught the ball and allowed K Palama to attempt that bold attempt that is the mark of a confident player. "I didn't know exactly where the goalkeeper was if he had made better contact and gotten that lift you were talking about.

The tiger was 10 yards outside his area. A slight lack of concentration for Bernardo Silva, but he was followed by one from Fernández out for a

city

shot. We're talking about Jon Stones playing midfield at times, but I've done it on two or three occasions and Jon Stones has gone a little deeper, he could swap that role throughout the game. , yes, Ki is there, now Guardiola likes him to do it, which many Manchester City fans tend to feel like he's not that good at it, oh, it's a slip from Walker Gallagher. Manchester City have numbers behind.

Greish stopped it at the cost of a corner and it's not just the Chelsea defenders, Kyle, who is sliding and losing focus, the ball crashed into him and he slipped as he tried to bring it down with his chest. recovery so good it causes Giga to back off and Giga then plays It Wide Gusto wasn't creative enough to beat Jack Gish. here Gallagher on the corner univ came through holes in your socks right? I'm not sure someone hasn't made a new innovation, but many players do it, they let the cves breathe now they flatten, it's not intentional, it's the bear of many football observers. world foden very well compiled by Álvarez against Malo gusta, he is nibbling it but he finds a way to De bruyne and de bruyne runs through him.

It's Phil foden headed by kukara greish aangi and sold Gish short, he's going out for a Manchester City corner Phil Foden came so close to a Manchester City goal. Well, I talked about Kevin De Bruyne's passing ability. He just looks at this here. How do you see this pass? It's absolutely brilliant. Foden breaks the offside line and does well to pass to the goalkeeper. he just has to get back to a decent area and the bru was wrong for once started as he intends to continue but what a pass and what a good run from Phil Foden playing more centrally today than in the first half. from the game against Real Madrid his touch had to be so big to get away from the goalkeeper now he's running out of space and all he can do is just round with his foot he could move back into a decent position he's been grabbing all the headlines and rightly so , in the English Premier League lately he has been overshadowed in the build-up to this one by his former teammate Cole Palmer one for City Gish AK Jackson is still on the pitch here and it's Aangi who will slow him down City pens are booing him but I think Chelsea will I appreciate it and the Chelsea fans were asking Jackson to pass him a little bit earlier here, there's a couple of runners in front of him.

Cole Palmer was W mwaki was another. It's Kim de Bruyne who came back and did The Challenge. Three didn't see it as a foul, it's a Chelsea shot, but I'm sure they'll do the right thing. Tama throws it to Stepan Ora. Manchester City, the first team to be in a sixth consecutive FA Cup

semi

-final, making history in all competitions since p g arrived. Greish ignored Kevin De Broner's first runner, that's an exaggeration and he won the ball back and that will be the wrong angle for the tackle and, apart from that very good pass he made to Foden, a great start to the game.

De Bruyne gave the ball away, it was a short pass to Jack Greish and then the tackle was not good. AK just walks away and sees that he is nowhere near the ball. In the end he was tackled at risk of injury and was not caught. because of Mad's movement to the right B the way he never managed to get to the ball anyway chabar Petrovic is not the cleanest kick Palmer touches Jackson Jackson will now try to make Jon Stones run and he is doing well He did not let no one there Nicholas Jackson couldn't have done much crazier.

He's going to go over the head of the crazy kick. Manchester City bowl well, that will be a concern, I think for Manchester City and Jon Stones in particular he just ran past Jon Stones, so Easily, eventually, Stones gets revenge on him here, but he could still get a challenge, that was the second part of the work. Nobody comes from behind to the challenge. How is it going for another

city

? Throw Jackson a player who seems to have divided opinions, he has 13 goals in his first season at Chelsea and is only 22 years old he is still learning the game in many ways he is always a substitute more often than a starter at Vale before arriving West London there is a lot of talent in that talent his explosive power is very quickly he got a final product, that is what Chelsea fans hope will develop. was making great progress in Spain.

They gave it the label sagales. Neymar wasn't just because of his ability. There are also some temperament problems. That's gray. Finding Álvarez with no way out. could find one, actually he does against De Bruyer and the flags go up for offside anyway, De Bruyne made the run for him and ended up offside, but good play by Alvarez, he's got a bit of pace, He has good movement, but here he shows that he can. He manipulates the ball, turns, places it on his left foot and there you can see Kevin De Bruyer standing a meter or two offside.

He's the key to a booming Blue Moon chorus Grola was naturally disappointed, but remained philosophical about leaving the field. Champions League Here's Palmer, he doesn't want to lose two trophies that he had in his possession in the space of a few days, just a reminder to all of us that it's sport, we can have so many shots, you can have all the possession . It doesn't mean you'll win, that's exactly what he was saying before the game and asked if he was disappointed. No, I'm not disappointed. He actually played very well. We did everything we could. B.

Played by humans, not algorithms. Maybe there will be a change on Pep's part.Guardiola the cani then picked up Jackson and Stones entered midfield. I don't think many City fans will be disappointed to see something they started with Alex Zenko when he was at the club, where he didn't prefer to play left-back. Midfield, so that's where he went, he just said they swapped again, ki went into midfield, they'll do some

match

. Rico Lewis has been back, he could have joined too, he is on the bench. Stones wants an option and, aangi, he was foden. a trip by Fernández on to rodri was giving a little quick pass to rodri andRod's first touch took him Beyond Fernández, it is Rod's 250th game for Manchester City.

He scored home and away against Chelsea in the Premier League this season. An incredible engine. There is greish jumping. Nice to deliver a decent ball. It was Álvarez who almost cushioned him towards Foden. way Jackson is another smart and cute twist seen three of them already Enzo Fernandez keeps him away from Bernardo Silva twice Jackson returns foden and is back with Orga thanks to rodri it's a day of living dangerously on both ends and finds aangi TOA greish De back with Rodri again, the usual shout of shooting appears, but he really does it and has given him away first in his path Jackson crazy Jackson oh, he made a lovely run madai didn't see it he won't pass Gallagher foden up to rodri rodri with the ball on For de bruyne he had to wait for malow Guster madw to handle him magnificently.

Malo Gusto AK fell by the wayside and Malo Gusto had committed offside a fraction too early, a combination that went a fraction too early and the ball was not played quickly enough. I think Kevin De Bruer seems a little tired right now. One of the two occasions in which he had the ball taken away from him quite easily; moments when he could have run with the ball and returned to the big game. For Pochettino here, he lost in the two previous FA Cup

semi

-finals he coached in in 2017 and 18 with Spurs and his only previous semi-final against Pep Guardiola in the Champions League with PSG three years ago.

The greenish one is Rodri Bernardo Silva. He is the one who appears. entered the area St on the head of Thiago Silva was not a good enough cross Gish was trying to get between the center halves and the defender Debron went wide on this left side began to pass through the inside right position enjoy just one little look at the bruer who has it now he was on his feet in the closing stages on wednesday he was asked to come off at the end there is a bit of debate as to why he or harland weren't on the field to take penalties but i don't think they could have done it, now they were destroyed rodri Enzo Fernández and he is not the only one who quickly approaches rodri every time he has the ball, he just catches rodri rodri is so good at protecting the ball and getting away from players who try to win him over again , just too stretched, that would have knit the groin a bit, it's de bruyne and it's Jackson who puts him behind the Manchester City corner.

Nathan AK was coming in at that moment, a defense by Jackson Alvarez gave the signal to de bruyne. is available again Palmer nearby in deeper blue Alvarez with deeper corner sparse Silva happy to let him run towards rodri Gish brish in the central PP back and Petrovic moves away and the flags go up again oh what a chance if it was Del side Bernardo Silva the assist given offside against someone was a good ball played by Jack gy change a move by rodri let's look at the run is foden is foden that is offside he tried to go for the ball that's why the assistant assistant raised his flag Petrovic straight down the middle I don't think he meant that he just raised his hand to apologize I think Madw was his target to make him run if he had put the ball in front there was Jackson against the stones a great air of the field Le bruyne K is almost standing in midfield at times, even when they are defending, you highlighted sh de bruyne coming towards the left, now he is drifting away from the INF field again, but what do you think is the reason for that? frustrated because he wasn't getting involved in the game, he allowed Foden to go to the other side, they are trying to create maybe a 2v1 against Gusto, see how far Medi wants to come back, that's what we were talking about before it started the

match

.

If you try to write a formation for Manchester City, it is practically impossible to do so. He has a second guess about Guardiola and no one can do it and he changes it throughout the game. Bruyne is usually the player who participates in any kind of transfer, allowing him to go for Thiago Silva, which seemed risky, but they were in constant communication and now it is up to Jackson and he is in or GA City has players back. Chelsea have players coming in and Jackson has really made a bit of a mess. of that, he's not going to have a free run like that many times, well the person who made a mess at the beginning was Jon Stones, this is a really poor defense, we wait until we see the highlight replay, Jon Stones trying to play him . offside, what a miss from Jackson, we have to face the goalkeeper and beat him when he is on his way towards you, surely we would have heard the players thundering behind him, well, here is Palmer, here is kukara and Orga, gratefully, jumps on the ball. playing from Chelsea, but what an opportunity for that man there, but he certainly he took a beating from Jon Stones.

I think Guardiola would do well to change him with a Kani ki who has more pace than joh in stones, that would be a big concern for me. Here it is greish as Manchester City try to stretch Chelsea at the other end and De Bruyne is going to try to get there. Gusto tried to stop him. The coverage came from Chelar behind him. Well, it was good energy from Kevin. De Bruyer gave it a little Taste. A little push, Chala, here's the race. John Stones was wrong. Jackson has to confront the player. There is greish and it was Gallaga who made sure to put himself right in front of another Ki in the Box.

He is coming to life in this semi-final. final now a couple of great chances Kevin De had a half chance Cel did very well de bruyne was still available aangi a wasn't ready for that I don't see him moving forward that often Nathan a but it was a half chance if he had had his right touch he says that it's hard to read his mind sometimes body language also that body language tells a story he's quite happy i think pep would approve of the catalan popcorn but look at the city coach there he is, he's hanging around i think you can i know when he's infused with the performance of his team and I don't think he is at the moment.

No, I think there are one or two issues that he won't be entirely happy with with one of the Stones of him versus Jackson. It seems like he's still going in a V. one in a large area, Jackson has already beaten him three or four times. Going back to what we were saying about Jackson earlier, pick him up in a minute because Greish picked up the ball in the Chelsea half and gave it to him again. rodri Bernardo Silva Walker foden Kara, says he played it against Foden, assistant referee Stuart Ber agrees with that opinion, I'm just going to ask you, does all that talent come back to Jackson, but is he still in his development as a footballer, take decisions, decision making and ran too straight?

To start with, the goalkeeper, if he runs at an angle towards the goalkeeper, the goalkeeper has to go in one direction and you can, or he doesn't work fast enough, you pass him in a corner, if he starts to cross you, pick him up. on him and put him in the other corner, but by running directly towards him, Ora found it easier to defend against him. A Stones Silva Walker to Stones BR has Acres on the left. Rodri saw him, there is no way to get to him. a challenge, not the second, but rodri is there to help him Bernardo Silva has gone to try the curl towards the top corner he is quite far from doing it not his best not as bad as his penalty the other night but not his best SW rodri Kara backed up and backed away so Lardo Sil was trying to bend towards the foul.

Corner like you said he made a mistake, bad effort, a very talented player, the one responsible for Manchester City being here today with both goals in the quarter-final victory against Newcastle. both wide in malog Gusto greish is the one who has to try to stop him he went for the pass early Walker was on it here he is madoi great block from Stones Chelsea have the best chances here they certainly are and that was just a ball played forward well, there there is a bad pass also from De bruyne Stones had to activate suddenly I did not expect the ball to be here played forward very good play this pass did not have enough Walker did well to come back but Mader has to hit that first time He hits that first time, gave the goalkeeper a problem, then Stones came back like you said and made a really good challenge.

Michael Oliver wants another ball, all the air has gone out of the first one. The stone seems to be having problems here. In terms of physical condition, I would say. More than anything else, he's really been blowing and taking big gulps of air for the last 20 seconds since he made that block. I think he's been rattled by Jackson's pace so far in the game. Rodri Rodri continues and left. balance when taking the shot, well, there are plenty of other times when you think he could shoot and he doesn't, and that probably wasn't the right decision on that occasion.

Both sets of supporters know strangers who have visited Wembley and Chelsea 30 times since. The great house of football has always remodeled itself more than any other team, it does not always return home happy in recent times. I think they'll be pretty happy to see their team play like that today and create more chances. Another one is coming, but Kao lost possession and almost got a second bite crazy he waited for it to come down here is Gusto Chala chalar able to move towards the ball without opposition Palmer beautiful change Palmer goes for a save from Ora it could have seemed easy sure that's it a very good but also brilliant save by Cole Palmer rodri almost tried to knock him down when he passed by him Chelsea received the shot Gallager no, it was disallowed, it was Gallagher in the assistant Dan Cook right there he gave it to Chelsea it is Michael Oliver who said no, it's City look how Rodri just sticks his arm out here very good play by Cole Palmer thought he could pass it in the corner Rod a little lucky because it's a good pass from the orager Jack Gish is lucky to escape without receiving a yellow card really hit the assistant referee a lot of abuse there, he may just hear it on his microphone and apologize for it.

I wonder who that voice was that gave him away. He just had another angry look at d cook as Jack Kish Walker Bernardo Silva stones Rodri Walker de Bruyne to the right the first time. he's been there for a while, he went for the ball early and it wasn't the right choice, you see what he was looking to do, bend it behind Thiago Silva for Alvarez's run, he generally plays with his ear on Harland, it's great. k effect Chala that flip went straight to foden rodri takes control and kukar kukara blocks the way for Bernardo Silva, you read it perfectly, right?

Kukara Berardo was going to try to run inside him for Rodri's pass and he simply stepped on it. Pochettino hit him from behind when he passed him. I think he is playing his best football since he became a Chelsea player in recent weeks. The player Manchester City coveted to move to west London from Brighton City has effectively played without a Kukara when he arrived, they started playing with him as the third center half, now M, visitor kick, stretches his legs and keeps the ball in twice Gusto no one in the back and Walker can cushion it towards Orga and Orga raises both hands as an apology because he didn't raise his head.

I think it was a good first half for Chelsea, they created one of two good chances they played from the back much better in the last 20 minutes that last attack down the left side was a really good game now wouldn't we normally do that against Manchester City? We will say that they will not take risks. but I'm not so sure today because City are not going to be any fresher after all the effort they put in on Wednesday, usually when we are watching a game involving Manchester City you look towards the opposite end of the pitch where they have the most possession where they have controlled the ball, I'm not sure that's been the case here, do you think we're seeing Wednesday night have an absolute effect?

Kevin De Bry, we haven't seen Foden really get involved in the game, apart from that little run he made, there is another opportunity for the Brits to try to go on the outside, but he didn't want to, he wanted to come back again. Ki to Rodri Walker, he is as far ahead as we have seen Carl Walker. he didn't stay there for long foden finds greish he approaches the box he brings foden there de bruyne a little too complex Manchester City tries to push again Álvarez is pushed rodri finds foden and foden is knocked down free Kick City good position for that is the challenge ofKao is very aggressive in the challenge.

Kaiso is Chelsea's most defensive midfielder and is not much of a challenge. Oden was moving away from him. There he was not even close to the ball. A trio of Manchester City players talking to referee Michael Oliver and I think. When asked if he brought his cards today, we haven't seen any yet. I don't think we had any reason to be honest. I think he refereed the game well. Football is something you can do to get a slight advantage. the game of bruyer and foden is not a bad choice, it is Phil foden who puts this too far, yes, too much of Phil foden, the obvious ball, there is a bit of space between the goalkeeper and the Chelsea back line. he didn't stop, he's just been hanging around, I think it's been a good first half of pettino dama dispossessed, he's reached De bruyne and falls over the edge, nothing because he almost bounces off to feed anyway, this is Kara Enzo Fernandez, angry, Gusto left and Gordo loco was out of the game.

Gusto returns and City advances. Gish is pulled in a free kick now. There will be a card because it's Kaiso again, yes I can absolutely say that, although I mean I fouled Foden and then he has a bit of TG from Engish's shirt, so who will be under pressure for the rest of the second half and the rest of the first. half and all of the second half a lovely little one too with Kevin De bruyne just sticks his arm out and grabs Jack's shirt greish de bruyne puts it in Stones goes up high Bernardo Silva Manchester City pushes as we move forward in time at the end of the first half the board will go up shortly de bruyne here we go two extra minutes to play his turns foden passes to Gallagher Silva there's just no way to pass now deu not today not until now I think I was just trying to pick him up around the I came back for Jack Gish to make a run and Jack Gish didn't make a run and also Chelsea had tightened the field.

I had a little work to do during the break. I think Pep Guardiola doesn't seem like a heavy man at the moment. and the team is not playing at their best, that's for sure they usually do, if you forgive the obvious clearance, they recover after a lively chat that happens over and over again, but Chelsea are doing what Manchester City that Real Madrid did during the two more hours. The other night closed the way with a promising numerical discipline for City, although they are beginning to find passes and gaps at half-time for Chelsea for one last attack, perhaps taken out of the air by Gusto, a good touch from Mad, perhaps the time. for one last Chelsea attack Gusto chop cedo Fernandez Jackson Gusto it's Gallagher's turn Chelsea doesn't flow for Gallagher here is Mada kept out of the danger zone by greish placedo Fernandez two extra minutes are almost over and that's halim at Wembley Chelsea ran out of time with that last striker type P guard will try to use his time very intensely for the next 15 minutes to achieve a little more melody.

It's a great substitution here that Wara has made for Rben Diaz. I assume that he will play as a central midfielder and allow Ki to go to the center of the field as they did in the game against Real Madrid, without a doubt, a direct exchange of position to the right of the two center backs in the Manchester City defense and the usual conversation between Pep Guardiola and Juan Maro as Chelsea get the game back on track, there are few empty seats there, the usual eh, hospitality suspects simply finishing the refreshments before returning to watch what should be a second half really exciting and maybe more.

Goodness, could Manchester City really get through the prospect of more? Once again, Gallagher loses to Walker, who then simply left the foot in him. I don't think there was anything intentional about that, but Gallagher was certainly hurt by it, he cleared the ball from Walker, did he really follow through? He must have heard the scream, so here he is. The punter only he will know if he left his foot there deliberately. I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt. He has to lift it high and he has to get it down somewhere. England teammates that matters today. king Manchester City doing hard The work of this Ora has diverted it directly to Madai Mad over.

Well, it wasn't a good start to the second half from Manchester City. I'm pretty sure what they were trying to do there made it difficult for Rer. It was not a good header clearance to AK trying to return with his favorite left foot, he is very far from the goal, Enda's bad effort is almost as good as Edison with the ball at his feet, that is why Manchester City hired him from the relative obscurity of Armenia Velt in Germany, but not then. he didn't want the ball to be passed to him like that it's too short from Alvarez attacked by austo what a good season he's had with Chelsea he's been in good form austo has been a very useful addition to their defense do that to be with Bruce James he missed a lot of it of the campaign due to injury.

Palmer fights off Alvarez and bounces towards De Bruyne, but Fernandez has the first Kara on him. He has it around Walker Jackson Kara. A 6-0 win against Everton has certainly helped enormously, but Chelsea. There seems to be a lot of confidence in them, a little more than the FA Cup holders, and then there's not a very good pass from Gusto just giving the ball away, but they also seem more energetic at the moment. Chelsea, here they go again with Gallagher and now Kara Fernandez. Gallagher passes to Jackson Jackson again and Orga Palmer saves him another chance and another OTA block Jack well he didn't seem to connect with that like he really thought he would score, he should have Fernandez tries to bring Chelsea on the attack once again they are targeting Manchester City here t madw Kao Thiago Silva offside Bad Taste city fans are giving a full course come on city who is your usual champion when your team needs a boost well two big chances that Dela do very well now.

I think he's worried about Walker coming back with his pace, so he gets it early. He is a good save. Again by OTA, but this is the easiest opportunity when he enters the area, he has to head to both sides. The goalkeeper has to score there Berardo Silva at the moment City have not shot on goal, which says that things are not going well for them at the moment Chelsea with a five on goal The advantage with them now enjoys was brought down by Mad here Rodri is on the ball Bernardo Silva de Bruyne wins a corner, yes that's the run he loves to make but for the Chelsea players to see, Thiago Silva and Gallagher cross there blocking Kevin's cross De Bruyne will take the corner , he won't be the first to hit him.

Today, a little slip from Foden, but he kept the ball to Palmer. Bernardo Silva does it further for Chelsea with Rubén Díaz. There are too many of these Manchester City players at the moment who are maybe 10% below their best, allowing Chelsea to have a good chunk of the game here Mommy's fine, take a busy goalkeeper in the early stages of the second half tvic has not been able to stop the M rodri here goes Jackson t on the move he blocks it Rubén Díaz played brilliantly played very calmly Bernardo Silva takes control with the assistance of Walker, rodri, this is more like Manchester City ber Silva, they are the breaks for F Fernández, now from bruyne rodri greish enters the play and enters the area and then it is bodden Petrovic now saves City's best play of all. game by a distance from bruyne the starters just went out came to life well they played around the pressure at one end really good change of play towards greish not sure foden hit it as cleanly as he would have liked he certainly didn't didn't hit it with a lot of power, it was a good save from Petrovic.

Fenly nodded away for pleasure. Greish Alvarez wanted De bruyne foden to run towards him. Palmer will now run with the ball at his feet and try to get Jackson to pass to Kyle Walkers. numbers back in sky blue CA Tama and force further It falls on Greish's leg, it will be a Chelsea free kick. I think he thought about playing it between Gish's legs to start, towards that right side right there. G simply closed his legs in time but then committed the foul. This is the chance for you to make a great connection. It's a decent effort, but not right in the corner photo.

He wouldn't have seen it. Step. The defender goes down very well. What can Chelsea do? From here, Pallas took a look to see where Orga was standing and tried and Ora was crossing Chelsea going up a turnoff. I have to admit, I thought I'd see a detected one, if not a fully seen one, but Michael Oliver, right? I tried to beat OTA at the first AR post, they said EGA made a stop here. It came off the wall, didn't it? The center of the wall actually went through the wall. I think one of the Man City players just hit, could he?

It's been a hand that's what they might have been talking about I think it came out of Greish's left arm oh look Maro Pettino has a clear view of it and his arm is outside his body I'm sure this will be I looked at it, It's being reviewed at the moment, but Michael Oliver has been told he can stick with his original decision, so it's clearly been seen as accidental. David Cot is in the V chair today, he didn't need much time, that's the positive side. Yeah but I think Man City got away with it by the standards of what we see most weeks like his arms away from his body and that usually decides whether it's a penalty or not, a handball or not, he certainly stopped the ball.

Well, he's Walker and I don't think Michael Oliver saw it, so it's not his original decision, it's something he might have missed anyway. City Press continues with greish, there is Kara de bruyne down and the flags up Chelsea free kick, yes, de bruyne is offside as a Kani directed it at him, it is a great decision by the V not to ask Michael Oliver to kick a look at this watch. The wall breaks and his arm is away from his body and it certainly hits his arm, there's no doubt about that. Pochettino is in line with that, well he can smile now, but that was a dangerous moment for City and Jack Greish, but he wouldn't melt.

Oliver once gave three pens against Manchester City in a match against Leicester a few years ago, it's a little late to raise the level now forward for chatting but it's not going anywhere another card for julián alvarez it's just the referee's will I think that man has gotten away with it no matter if it was intentional or not his arms away from his body well the arm actually moved towards Ballz he was delaying the free kick that's why he was booked Ki makes a clearance meal he finally made it to cost of feeling the pain of a late tackle greish rodri de bruyne Walker on the run down the right had gone too soon and he knew it Kara Gallagher DEA Cuts it out and throws it in just thinking about those moments ago sh there was nothing good now this no It is a measure of good or evil, we do not know.

I want to see in the discipline but there was no great reaction on the touchline even though Marito Poatina had a clear vision. I bet now that they've looked into it they'll think about it a little more. I think we'll talk about that. after the game for a long time if Chelsea don't win this cup semi-final Fernández cut by aangi here is Gish Gish goes for the drive comes out chatting it's a corner from Manchester City I never like Jack Gish when he really shoots from distance he gets so much par in the strike C the player who got the block has gone to the edge of the area most of the focus in the middle Petrovic cannot reach berardo Silva goes out to greenish greish thinks a good one for Álvarez three in the box that was a Ki, he was in second place, although it is greenish again, here M would not be beaten and now it is Jackson who has Ruben Diaz Jackson's career in the box, did he push him there, did he risk Jackson? goal kick awarded now on this occasion I think the referee got it right Kyle Walker, wasn't it with his Pace who counterattacked and probably only Kyle Walker would have been the only player on the field who could have stayed with him here and I think. he's just a shoulder to shoulder if he had made contact with his foot, it might have been a different story but he didn't, he went almost shoulder to shoulder.

I think the referee was right. It seemed as if Jackson was absent for just a moment. There's Kevin. De bruyne Gish Gish plays cross and Chelsea had the numbers Thiago Silva makes the block good play by greish I don't often see him fall on the outside like he did on that occasion rodri really opens up now played by Gallagher Manchester City throwing there he is There have been two sides for Jackson, isn't it there? He looks like the most threatening player on the field right now. Jackson with his pace and power has also not made the most of the opportunities we were talking about in the first half. to be a finished product Dan de Bru greish de bruyne you see Jackson had six touches in the City box more than anyone else on the pitch Gish Alvarez Walker AK greish overcomes a couple of challenges rodri now there is more energy in Manchester City now oh Al de bruy caught his son he can't reach that pass he didn't have his best game rodri gave the ball away cheaply on several occasions but he is an outstanding player there is no doubt that he has been so important for City Sur that he will come to the four greish have fallen after the last challenge on him Jeremy dku is ready for action and could betaking gish's place regardless of this, this is how to trade pep gordola might have another idea in mind, he gave a kick, right? left knee in that area, yes, I can say that, although enjoying the punt is not particularly happy.

I came on against Real Madrid on Wednesday to make the difference. The X Factor, the chaos, running a bit like Jackson for Chelsea, yes I can. see why it frustrates Chelsea fans. Jackson promises so much, but he doesn't always deliver. Here he has that opportunity a little earlier. He goes to the corner, but a good save from Ora, but this is the one he should have scored with. She stands behind. Walker and it's a pretty tame headliner, he's a bottle full of effervescent talent waiting for someone to take the cap off. Great race, isn't it between those two who can see the funny side?

I thought Jackson had someone else on the pitch than he would have now Jeremy dku replaces Jack Gish, the same change that was made on Wednesday night at the EAD Stadium against Real Madrid and had a good effect for the Manchester City for all that greish had a good game during the week and it wasn't that bad today, no, they had one of their best games today, but doku gives them something different, a little bit of rhythm, a little more direction, although sometimes he doesn't know which direction or which defender he still has to go to. someone official Thea I think JackIt could be pointed out to Greish that he was on the rather fortunate side of an important decision and still has words now.

What's going on here? It has been brought to the attention of Michael Oliver. It's Darren England, who is the fourth official also on Jackson in the meantime. on the field telling him and Aangi to stop doing whatever they've been doing, the players don't seem to be going down, stress levels will rise as the clock ticks down not far from the midpoint of the second half. now Chelsea throws Rodri PS: directly to Chala given by Thiago Silva Bernardo Silva goes for the first time looking for Álvarez T goes there for Chelsea H just has to Accelerate his pace he saw Gallagher out of the corner of his eye Walker dku brought Walker into the game too much for Jeremy dku Palmer is away from aangi and he played it very well kaedo wrong choice there was a ball for Jackson before that but also his first touch wasn't particularly good he didn't take it off his feet he should be running here and one V one against the goalkeeper very good play by Palmer and seeing that he is on the side, the guys said if he brings his touch closer, that's a bad first touch, it gets stuck under his feet and then he has to make a decision.

Palmer is wrong, the architect again, why hasn't Kiso scored for Chelsea, but we haven't seen him come forward like that too often, curing his time since he signed from Brighton? Here is Mada palas displaced dku super work by bruy In the continuation, Foden had to wait, it is Rodri towards Bernardo Silva Dau, but upon entering the area it is Georg Petrovic's leg that keeps him out and prevents City from taking the lead. I think Gusto also got a little lucky and almost cut it. dku good play by the substitute, again it is a dku played for Álvarez, he couldn't turn to de bruer, he couldn't hit much better from Manchester City dku did very well on that left side and one against Gusto, there is the preparation play by Alvarez is trying to bend it with the inside of his right foot how close is this that's where Gusto almost knocks him down doku stretching for that oh he gets a right foot he's a bit lucky it looks like Vetovich is tricky The Belgian winger is back to be introduced at the right time by Pep Guardiola Shar clears and the game of bruyne donu well shoots and chala is there to block it pmer P in a bit of a mess Mad City launches City for the first time really with a sustained spell at the top doku he is the reason and he won a corner, not only did he pass his man on a couple of occasions, now other players are running away from him, see Kevin De Bruy do it, a cani did it, they have some I think now those Manchester fans City need a break and a little attention.

Now he has a different challenge on his hands without running at it from the outside in, no wonder his knee feels a little twisted and he knows he's going to be tested now. We are playing Jack Greish most of the time, he will cut you back on his right foot, he won't try to pass you with Pace, now dku can go both ways, semi on balance semi, that could be a long way off. since it was decided, but you might have some problems here. Taste just a handful of inflatable bananas among Manchester City fans come and go, something that started in the 1980s.

I imagine some of them shook when you played. I think they were initially presented by fans and tribute to their striker Imra Verardi there is a name from the past. The referee's corner was never happy with that. He has seen a push in the area. Chelsea free kick. He is in tune with his team. for a lot of the game, not in the last few minutes, but it looked a little solemn, yeah, not looking like a happy team today, one or two of the players have been arguing with each other, one or two of the players.

I have been arguing with the assistant referee, mainly Jack Greish on two or three occasions. Walker did the same and gave the ball away. Alright. Heavy landing. I give up AI. He fell into Jackson's hands. Opportunities seem to have lost their way in the future, they may come back and maybe they will come back. Julan Álvarez gave it away, but he received a foul in the process. Free Kick City. I think the Chelsea players claimed that he had given the ball. away and then fell to the ground he was right in front of M, the assistant approached donu and Gusto will approach him de bruyne dku gusto in and he did it well rben Diaz goes up over dku over Jackson, now he has the ball and the referee has whistled again for a Manchester City free kick with Nathan and the player was injured, they took it very quickly.

AK was still wondering what was going on. It is Álvarez dku contra chalar who blocks the shot, but Gallagher cannot get rid of him and Petrovic comes out. That was a good defense from Chala One V one against dku. He knew he was going to come in and he got a really good block. That's what you were talking about earlier in the game. Chala simply added a bit of solidity to Chelsea's defence. Jackson Kara Gallagher crossed Mad Now austo Corner Chelsea a corner play disputed by Manchester City but they are going to have to defend now yes, Aangi did very well to cross there Gusto had made a very long forward run inside m ha fallen. flexing his right foot and is muttering something to his teammates which seems to be cause for concern Nathan A and the boot change for Nathan A here he had still made that run forward, seems to be okay on my part, the injury well, I should be a goal kick, it shouldn't.

Isn't that why Manchester City complains so much? Ora is still not 100% and will have to be with a corner thrown at him if that was not the plan, now it will be for Chelsea, for sure. Walker told the physio he came in, but he gave me a little wink to tell me everything will be fine, don't worry about that bit of magic spray that will do Chelsea's job after making a couple of changes. and one of them is not a surprise. Gusto, I think he will leave in a moment after suffering an injury. Axel Disas is preparing and Malla Mudri is also receiving the final words of instruction as T Guardiola contemplates what he should do next.

He won. I don't want to turn on Edison today if he can help it, it doesn't look like Edison wants to turn him on or he doesn't exactly have the green light to warm up Ora to get back on his feet and apparently he's fine, anticipation is building at Chelsea. it's those Chelsea fans behind the goal who are attacking and they headed towards ciso now it's Gusto and Palmer touches him like he thought he was offside and in fact the flag had been raised here come those substitutions you were talking about zazzy and mudri, we know that it is Bad Taste.

I think he's not angry. He's going to give Madrick a run. He scored a brilliant goal in the final against Leicester. Madw Modri ​​scored in the previous round against Leeds AEL. goal in the last round against Leicester with no errors now there are two changes made by micio platino modri on the left then Palmer on the right Gallagher further to the right was buzzing around Orga then feeling he might not be fully fit and still puts the The pressure is on and Chelsea fans are applauding his efforts. You'll be interested to see where exactly Gallagher goes.

It looked like he was going to play as a number 10 and Cole Palmer will go to the right side. I think Palmer just got some clarification. He asks now while Pep Grola gives some of his own instructions. Nathan had more touches than anyone else for Man City and it's no surprise that Rodri is so close in that central midfield area that sometimes he wasn't on the list and it's not so apris julan Alvarez we talk about Earling Harand sometimes he's not in the game and then write down well it must be that central role because you would have loved to be involved much more than you have been today there is always that question mark Does the sender not want to? getting involved in the overall game or not looking to play him is the question mark with Harland right now.

The same can be said about Álvarez today photo Bernardo Silva photo AK dku is still available if necessary dku faces diassi here is AK de bruyne AK in the area aangi Bernardo Silva foden Dau rodri is Bernardo Silva and he arrived at Ki and that was Alber and when he got the ball in a decent position in the box it was too tight, there was no space to dig. Look carefully, how many times do we see this against Real Madrid in these types of situations in which Manchester City is lying in the area, makes many passes but in the end fails to shoot on goal?

There were a couple of times during that play where a center could have come in a little quicker, it's just one thing I've been thinking about as this game has gone on. There is still a lot of talk about Stuart if he would be there, he should be someone else about morito poino among the Chelsea fans that they don't watch. I like a team that should be ninth in the Premier League, they are a better team than that and I suspect next season, if they are allowed to keep going, I think they will be up there again, absolutely, it has been a difficult season for him , he had to work, it took him a long time to determine who were his best players and their best formation because there were so many new ones, who were they when he joined the club, there were many strangers who had just arrived, he had to put together as a team, he had to understand exactly what the player's strengths and weaknesses were.

Maybe we are seeing a change in Chelsea at the moment in recent weeks. I think progress is being made. rben Diaz dku AK dku hasta de bruyne de bruyne crossing is Bernardo Silva with a golden moment, the holder's grip on the cup is not yet loosening, well it all starts with Kevin De Bru, a run down the inside of the left channel and Bernardo Silva, who was perhaps on the verge of being retired, is the player who scores. is on his side Kevin De Bruer touches the ball Petrovic puts his foot in and takes it directly into the path of Bernardo Silva who was going to be removed he finishes very well deflects Kukara has to go down as Bernardo Silva's goal and what a moment for Man City to show their quality , good game by dku the bruer making that characteristic run, yes there is a bit of fortune about where petravic's boot takes him, but berardo Silva at the far post does enough, that's the motivation chamber, a player that he was all set to replace Oscar Bob just a moment ago, everything is on hold for now, Manchester City, Chelsea at zero and there is not much time left, and it is a bit unfortunate for Karer, who also had a good game, He hasn't seen Bernardo much.

Silva Kar has been excellent oh here we go it's the same change he just wants us to leave you don't come don't you see that many times what we are seeing many times are deserters Bernardo Silva goals two in the quarterfinals against Newcastle one today they do things The tribune is bringing those fans back for another Cup final. The Bruyne gives away a free kick. A little frustrated push towards Enzo Fernández, who doesn't believe he's hurt. I think Enzo Fernández could have had a small comeback and another card for both players. I think this is the foul, it's a foul by Kevin De Bruyer.

I think Fernández could just give him a little kick, yes, he did, he did it on the right leg. Yeah, and then a little push from Kevin De Bru, so both players got one. yellow card Modric Fernandez received another treatment from Foden and Orager is out, that's Thiago Silva, another foul committed, no, it was not by De Bruyne referee, quite happy, Gallagher put away by dku dku moves away from Gallagher and Álvarez is in the runs through the middle his foden first Aro Silva P diassi who will clear pegu is on the field there he is yelling at his players that he is not happy with something Michael Oliver will just delay the game and tell Pep to go back to his area literally I'm not sure to think he's angry at Phil Foder and it's him he's shouting at, that's the player who should use his head, he's had an absolute rise, Phil Foden here and still going.

My God, there is a change, it is not Bernardo Sila, it is Álvarez, he will go for Oscar Bob, butBob is, have you ever been on the receiving end of one of those? I bet you have at some point, yeah, Don, how did he give me one of those? At some point Chelsea switches and then Chilwell replaces Kara, that's straight up. Swap and Endz up, Hernandez is going crazy, the former sky blue is coming now in royal blue, it's Raheem Sterling won everything with Manchester City 339 games 132 goals Chelsea need a goal from him against his old team, now they certainly need it.

It's going to move forward. that right side of Raheem Sterling means Gallagher will play a little deeper and T will go into the field and the number 10 will roll behind Jackson here is Chelsea's number 10 mric chilwell the clock says 88 minutes when did Chelsea change things and he really left? For the bet, well, here's Palmer, enough for Orga. Well, there will be a lot of talk about that hand that was not dealt against Jack Gish. If the result continues like this, there will be a lot of talk about Jackson not taking. Guardiola's chances now are like a cat on hot bricks, but when he comes to life, his team does so with Modric.

Here's Chilwell and look at Sterling's career. Can Chilwell pick him? No, the ball had to be played first. Oh, what an opportunity for Chell! to play the ball in sterling he was out, he just didn't lift his head, he just came on the field he has two sterling, but what an opportunity there. MRI to take the corner, the scoreboard will be interesting. We will see in a few seconds Orga with a call from the goalkeeper Walker did it for him without a free kick since Mudrick takes it up again Shalar will have to give up the Chase and here we go there will be the minus eight more minutes to playThere are 8 minutes left for Mar Poino to see his Chelsea team score that his team was undoubtedly the best team in that first half they had opportunities a little hope for the Chelsea fans behind the goal next to us left there's the man to separate them at the moment hasn't had one of his most influential games but what a good goal it was from a Man City point of view, that's Walker Bob, lovely touch for foden gallager mudri, now Sterling rodri He orders him to stay out of Bruyne Dau's way.

Andu overcomes the challenge very easily, but on De Bruyne's return he did not weigh all the players correctly and made a mistake in that pass. It was Kevin De Bruyne. How many times have we seen him roll that into the next player's feet? Doo. he certainly he has made a difference, hasn't he been excellent? That has been the substitution petrovich cha will have to work there and he is giving it away now Bernardo Silva Bob rodri trying to make fun of bruyne chalifa got in the way just a word about pep guardiola's team and Manchester City's own coach, Stuart, After what they did on Wednesday, they haven't been at their best today, but if they find a way to win this says a lot about something else they have besides their undoubted talents, they believe in the Spirit, yes, they have great quality.

They have shown a lot of determination today as he said they haven't been at their best. You saw how Pep Guardo was, so with Phil Foden, those are the standards they set in Manchester. City fod caught by Gallagher benefits from rodri dku happy to wait for it from bruyne I would love for you to analyze what that was about with foden but I don't remember there was that much going on, well he tried to play a forward pass and gave it away actually It was for Álvarez, but he didn't play with the right weight and Pep Guard said: keep him in that situation, use your head like Bernardo Silva does there, but he didn't just say it, he said it once or twice about 10 times and it seemed like made Phil Foden shake here are the B flags up here is a free kick for Chelsea Chelsea has four and a half minutes to find a goal is Thiago Silva Bernardo Silva don't see a fight up and down him very often.

Bruy's real fight occurs with the launch of Kiser Sterling City. He is about to restore his balance. Bruo may not have had his passing range working at its best today, but he has been a fighter and it affects the game. You will always find a way to get involved, he will always find a way to try to advance the next pass. Many of the Man City players are all very good. Your players will maintain possession. De Bruyne is the only player. that he seems to penetrate, it was his running and his cross that created the goal.

He has built up some energy reserves on the ball too, seems to be magnetized towards it now dku outplayed Assi de bruyne well for a team that had two hours taken away and then penalties in the week by one of the other best world teams. They seem to have gotten better as the game went on and found that bit of inspiration. Foden desperately tried to take down Chilwell and was eventually caught by Bernardo Silva. Chelsea's free kick, they have to increase the numbers, this is not a moment for delicacy, from here in the old days, this type of situation is simpler, you put it in the box, you carry it in front, right?

Happ so much now needs a good throw here Manchester City are trying to keep a fairly high line there is a lot of space between them and Ora Palmer with a lazy movement of that left boot Thiago Silva jumps Gallagher tucked away by Bob dku with the bruyer in support and Oscar Bob comes here, here's the bruyne in the corner, yes, it's m, he comes out to jalaba for everything we've said, he hasn't been at his best today Kevin De Bron, he's done a lot of other good things he's done. he's just been voted man of the match, well there we are, show us what his standards are normally, if we don't I don't think he's been at 100% and he's still the best player on the field, that tells you about Kevin De bruyne farma chela.

Thiago Silva finds Ben Chilwell mudri Walker eats the ground leans towards mudri that one gives like a push instead of shoulder to shoulder and Chelsea has one last chance to get the right ball into the area and finish and they didn't need it to have the push, or he beat Mudrick for Pace here, he got there first or he was going to get there first and he gives him a slight push, that's all. He can't believe it's very different from the previous one, not at all different. about that now this is the big moment City wants to bring Kovic to the game free kick first it's MRI and it's over everyone and that should be enough if there is time they are going to bring Kovic he may not be there Ando Poino knows it's over the weather, that couldn't have been worse, could it have been for Chelsea?

Mudri with the free kick leaves him offside on the other side of the field, the danger is over and with it many Chelsea fans get away well. TGA will do it. take your time Michael Oliver has his whistle ready he's just rushing the goalkeeper at first this will be played wide and long and the Manchester City fans decide they don't need to see any more they're doing the POS Nan in celebration buzz relax well Bernardo's header Silva Petrovic helped in time for Chelsea for Manchester City their time as custodians of the FA Cup continues they are in another final their double dream is still alive Pep Guardiola is on the verge of tears with a big smile of satisfaction Seeing his team of stars to go to the well, dig deep and find what they needed to find a way to win, that's what it was like today and after the week, they've had the effort they've put in, it's a monumental achievement.

Well today wasn't just about good football, it wasn't about his technical ability, his tactical understanding today was about his desire, his hunger, his ability to overcome what was a disappointing result on penalties midway through. week and they have done it and you can see it. By the way, they are celebrating here, this was a great game for Guardiola and his players. Chelsea, well, their players are heartbroken. Nicholas Jackson had the best opportunities, he couldn't waste them, he couldn't really test Stephan Ora, they will point out. to a very loud penalty shout early in the second half when Jack Krish on the defensive wall from the free kick appeared to block it with his hand it was not seen by the referee it was not disallowed by the V that is what Chelsea did They will have to complain about They had a pretty good performance overall, it's just that in the final third they lack a lot to promise from Chelsea for the future, but at present their streak in the FA Cup is over and the champions continue, it's Manchester's war City.

Chelsea zero.
