Thiago Silva hinted at his potential departure from Stamford Bridge after Chelsea’s loss to Manchester City in the FA Cup semi-final.

Manchester City secured a 1-0 victory with Bernardo Silva’s late goal, dashing Chelsea’s hopes of silverware this season after their previous defeat to Liverpool in the League Cup final.

Following the loss, Mauricio Pochettino’s team suffered their second defeat at Wembley, attributing it to missed opportunities and inefficiency.

In a post-match interview, Silva expressed his disappointment over Chelsea’s FA Cup elimination and suggested his tenure at the club might be coming to an end.

The 39-year-old, who joined Chelsea in 2020, stated that he has already made a decision about his future beyond the current season when his contract expires.

Silva hinted that the announcement about his future would come in the following days and refrained from commenting further on the defeat.

Reflecting on Manchester City’s FA Cup semi-final victory over Chelsea, Guardiola acknowledged the success of his team while praising Silva’s performance despite his age.

Pochettino expressed his belief that Chelsea deserved more from the recent match at Wembley but admitted his team’s lack of clinical finishing in front of the goal.

The FA Cup final will see Manchester City face either United or Coventry City as they aim to add another trophy to their Champions League triumph.
