FIFA has just announced VERY SAD NEWS for the Officials and Referees of the match between Manchester City vs Chelsea and this have cost them thier Job after not awarding a clear handball by Jack Grealish
In a thrilling semi-final at Wembley, Manchester City secured their spot in the FA Cup final with a narrow 1-0 victory over Chelsea, courtesy of a late goal from Bernardo Silva. The decisive strike came in the 84th minute after Kevin De Bruyne’s attempt was blocked by Chelsea goalkeeper Djordje Petrovic, allowing Silva to capitalize with a precise sidefoot finish.
21-year-old Cole Palmer, a former City forward, and Noni Madueke had opportunities to extend City’s lead, but failed to convert. Despite their efforts, it was Silva’s late heroics that propelled City into the final, where they will face either Manchester United or Coventry City on May 25th.
For Pep Guardiola’s side, the win provided solace following their recent Champions League quarterfinal defeat to Real Madrid on penalties. Silva expressed his relief, acknowledging the frustration of the past week and highlighting the relentless nature of football, especially for a club like Manchester City, where matches come thick and fast.
Currently leading the Premier League by two points, City remains in contention for a domestic double. Meanwhile, Chelsea’s missed opportunities, particularly by Nicolas Jackson, proved costly as they suffered their sixth defeat in eight FA Cup encounters against Manchester City. Mauricio Pochettino’s side failed to capitalize on chances, culminating in a disappointing afternoon at Wembley.
Chelsea’s recent FA Cup record against Manchester City reflects their struggle in the competition, with last year’s third-round exit further highlighting their challenges in the tournament. Despite their setbacks, both teams remain focused as they continue their pursuit of silverware in the season.
