After a shocking midweek exit from the Champions League at the hands of a fortuitous Real Madrid, Manchester City managed to squeeze past Chelsea with a narrow victory to book their spot in the FA Cup final on Saturday. But boy, was it a close call! 😅
Pep Guardiola's squad looked anything but their usual selves. The fatigue was real! City’s stars appeared drained and disorganized, clearly feeling the effects of their exhausting 120+ minutes and penalty shootout against Madrid. It was like watching a team running on empty. 🥴
From kickoff to the final whistle, the match was a wild rollercoaster. City couldn't find their rhythm, and the game seemed tailor-made for Chelsea's unpredictable style. The Blues were on fire, creating golden chances left and right, especially through Nicolas Jackson. But here's the kicker—why couldn't they finish? 🤷♂️
In the end, City held on, but questions remain. Can they bounce back to their top form in time for the final? One thing's for sure, football fans are in for an exciting ride! 🎢🏆
