In a match that felt more chaotic than a TikTok livestream, Manchester City squeezed past Chelsea to secure their FA Cup final spot on Saturday—proving even tired giants can win ugly.
Post-Champions League Hangover?
Fresh off a heartbreaker against Real Madrid, Guardiola’s squad looked exhausted. Think ‘zombie apocalypse’ energy : disjointed passes, sluggish defense, and a midfield that seemed stuck in slow-mo. The Blues, meanwhile, brought the chaos, with Nicolas Jackson missing chances like it was his side hustle.
Why Chelsea’s ‘Almost’ Story Continues
Chelsea’s attack was sharper than a K-drama plot twist, but their finishing? More like a forgettable season finale. Jackson alone could’ve scored a hat-trick—if the net were as wide as the Pacific. Yet, City’s grit (and maybe sheer luck
) kept them in the game. Bernardo Silva’s late winner? Chef’s kiss.
Next stop: Wembley. But can City’s weary stars recharge in time? Stay tuned.
