Chelsea lost 1-0 to Manchester City to reach the FA Cup final, beating Chelsea 1-0 to reach the final, the seventh time City have reached the final of the English Cup since Pep Guardiola took charge, and they have done so the most times in that period. In addition, Manchester City have won all of their first six finals. Chelsea lost 1-0 to defending champions Manchester City in their first FA Cup semi-final at Wembley Stadium, and Chelsea have failed to score in five of their last six meetings at Wembley, the same number as their previous 40 at WembleyHaving lost 10 of the last 13 games, Wembley Stadium really doesn't seem to be Chelsea's "feng shui treasure"! FA Cup report: Manchester City beat Chelsea 1-0 to advance to the FA Cup final. Bench B scored in the 84th minute, and Grealish was not awarded for handball in the penalty area
It can only be explained in this way, otherwise it is impossible to explain why so many times they have lost in this "football temple" in an advantageous situation. Inefficiency on the offensive end has plagued the team all season, and this game may be a "microcosm". As far as this game is concerned, I personally feel that Blues fans should not blame Pochettino....... Manchester City won the game with the whole team extremely tired and maintained the chance to become the "double champion", this "double blue meeting" is more about the quality of will! De Bruyne is really at the core, and Bey Silva completes the "redemption".

Thiago Silva wrote: "It's hard for me to put into words how I feel right now and I'm sorry I didn't qualify for the next round of the FA Cup. We played everything on the pitch and I'm very proud of Chelsea and thank you for your continued support. ”
Finally, a round of applause for Akanji. Being able to withstand wave after wave of attacks from the opponent is inseparable from Akanji's personal qualities, the choice of retreat and the grasp of the top tackle - the consistency of the defense is really good. In addition, he is still used as a striker (assist with the ball + frontcourt scramble and fight for the top), continuing his last Real Madrid self. Pep Guardiola, is it appropriate for us to do this?
Uncle Scum: "If you want to be the champion in the Premier League, you have to be close to perfect. If we are not perfect, we must deal with setbacks in the best or most perfect way.

Arsenal beat Wolves 2-0 away in the 34th round of the Premier League, and Arsenal kept another clean sheet in this game, which allowed them to create a new achievement - they have been able to keep a clean sheet in six consecutive away games for the first time in the Premier League. In the history of the Premier League, only Chelsea in December 2008 and Manchester United in February 2009 kept a longer clean sheet on the road, both with seven. Arsenal have 53 touches in the opposition box in this game, which is the fifth time they have done so in an away Premier League game this season, and they are top of the league in that statistic
After exiting the Champions League, the return to the Premier League for the first game is the litmus test for the title contenders. Arsenal ended a three-game winless run and won six consecutive away clean sheets against Wolves to temporarily return to the top of the Premier League table. The Gunners have six players who have scored more than 10 goals in the Premier League this season, scoring the most goals and conceding the fewest in the league and are theoretically the 'best' team.

At full-time, Chelsea lost 1-0 to Manchester City and missed out on the FA Cup final
Manchester City, who had just finished the Champions League, won 1-0 against Chelsea to advance to the final. Neither side found the back of the net in the first half. In the 84th minute of the second half, Bernardo Silva scored a stunner. It was a tough game for Manchester City as they had just played a Champions League game in midweek and played a penalty shoot-out, but they still dominated 60 per cent possession and had 14 shots, up from Chelsea's 10, and scored a goal. It can be seen that many of Manchester City's players are persevering, and the two consecutive high-intensity games have indeed exhausted many players, and Chelsea's failure to bargain for Manchester City after the Champions League is their biggest regret. Manchester City vs Chelsea The opening seven and a half minutes, didn't Enzo stumble and push behind De Bruyne, because the referee didn't say anything, so the game was not interrupted, and the first half was spent in this kind of game
Chelsea played well, but they did too badly on the last shot, and the same opportunity was reminiscent of Kai Havertz in the Champions League final in '21, which was the final goal. Jackson actually had many opportunities to do this, but Jackson was really bad, and it made me miss HavertzManchester City 1-0 Chelsea advance to the FA Cup final, talk about two controversial decisions!Jacquesson and Walker fall to the ground after a confrontation in the penalty area, the referee does not award a penalty!Grealish free-kick handball in the wall, the referee does not award a penalty!Analysis: Walker Jaksson can fight without a penalty. This is fundamentally different from Araujo's foul in the Champions League.
The two of them are in the same position, and they have to get stuck in the position before shooting, and this ball Walker is big, but I think it's within the scale. Grealish handball should blow a penalty. The new rules have strict rules on the position of the arm of the human wall, and if you open your arm and hit the ball with your swing, it will be a penalty in any case. There are many cases where the contact point is lighter than this, and Oliver has softened this time. Yesterday, Chengdu Rongcheng vs. Shenzhen Xinpeng City, Dugaric raised his hand to touch the ball and was directly dealt with by the red package.
Manchester City beat Chelsea 1-0 in the FA Cup semi-finals to reach the final, and with a win in this game, City are now unbeaten in regulation time in their last 29 matches, winning 23 and drawing six in those games, which is also a new record in their history. City have twice gone unbeaten in 28 games in all competitions, with the two long-term unbeaten runs coming from April to December 2017 and November 2020 to March 2021. Pep Guardiola angrily criticised the fixture schedule: "It's unacceptable for us to play today. It's impossible to take into account the health of the players. This is not normal and unacceptable. 120 minutes, the emotions against Real Madrid, the way we lost. I know England have a special affection for the FA Cup, but it's for the health of the players and I don't know how we got through today. ”
Asked if he had any advice to the tournament side, Guardiola said: 'Do you think asking for anything can change? The only right I have is to say it here, why don't we play tomorrow? Chelsea, Manchester United and Coventry City didn't play in midweek. 'I think about it a lot, I remember two years ago we played Borussia Dort on Wednesday and then Liverpool in the FA Cup semi-final on Saturday. They were 3-0 up at half-time and they destroyed us. "It's hard to recover mentally. The way Rodri played today, Walker has been injured for weeks and I don't know how they survived. We want to play football, we love football, but it's too much. We defend our championship and we're going to be here. They killed us in the transition and it was a close game. I wanted to play overtime? Don't. ”
Speaking about what he said to his players, Guardiola said: "Don't fight your feelings, if you feel sad, you're sad, if you feel disappointed, you're disappointed. I'm sad, I'm frustrated, we played a good game. I said if you feel sad, play with sadness. ”
