🏆 The Emirates FA Cup - 2025/2026 soon

[JoyMarsha]

We’ll be watching Chelsea and Manchester City go head-to-head in the FA Cup Final. Chelsea have been in terrible form in recent weeks, so we can say that City are the clear favourites for this match, but I also think there’s a high chance the match will go to extra time. City have managed to score three goals in their last three matches, whilst Chelsea have become a team that concedes goals easily, so I think City could score two goals in this match. In their most recent league encounter, City managed to beat them 3-0 away from home.

It's like we are going to see something different in this current FA Cup final between Chelsea and Manchester City.   Chelsea successfully held Manchester City to a draw in the first half. The second half might end up the same, pushing to extra time, in which a shocking goal might come in, to seal the match for Chelsea or Manchester City. Let's expect the unexpected in this match because anything can happen as Chelsea needs this match to qualify for the Europa League for next season

Chelsea 0 Vs Manchester City 0 HT
Manchester City is the first in the competitions history to play 4 consecutive finals and Chelsea are the competitions team to ever lose in 3 consecutive finals. These w teams meet again but this time to decide the who will be champions of the competition this very season. Both teams are not in their top forms but Manchester City is actually better off in terms of both teams from, first half has just been concluded with both teams still unable to find the back of the net but Manchester City has been the only team to have an attempt on goal but was denied twice. The game could go either way for both teams anyways, we have 45 minutes to find out if the game will be extended or not if there's no actual winner in the second half.

Chelsea has not really made the match interesting to watch, it just doesn't give the feeling of a final like its supposed to. Chelsea has only one shot on target throughout the first half and no intensity to produce a goal, it would be luck if Chelsea secures the win in this match. Man City are the better team in this game and I believe that the second half should have the winning goal that sets both teams apart.

Do you think Manchester City still has the chance of winning both the FA Cup and the Premier league this season?

Stop using previous records to judge this match. Chelsea played beyond my expectations and they were able to defend and end the first half in a goalless draw. I didn't see any big stunts from Manchester City attack despite resting Haaland for this match. The first half is over and the second half will determine who wins the trophy.

I was expecting Manchester City to at least score a goal against Chelsea and take the lead in the first 45 minutes but that didn't happen as Chelsea played impressive in the first half and become a thorns on the flesh of Manchester City. I am totally surprised with Chelsea first half performance because I didn't expect them to play this good against Manchester City. If Manchester City doesn't improve their performance and pressure Chelsea defense in the second half they might lose the FA Cup to Chelsea.

Most times it’s really not the intensity, even with the shots on target and all the intensity that Man City is putting into the game, they still weren’t able to secure any goals in the first half of the game. In the long run, the teams with the most goals wins, and so far no team has that. Who knows, Chelsea might come back stronger and maybe get the opportunity to score that one goal and maybe switch to a defensive game. So far, Man City has the higher chances of winning but really no one knows what’ll come next.

Semenyo has finally broken the deadlock as he opens the scoreline on the 72nd minutes with an excellent goal to make the difference in the scoreline. Honestly, Chelsea might get an equalizer if City fails to double their lead because the game looks balanced. However, City is in a better position of winning the game because they have one goal advantage over Chelsea.

The fact that Chelsea didn't concede a goal in the first half doesn't mean they're very strong. Just look at the fact that Chelsea have already conceded a goal in the second half. Of course, there are still many minutes left and they could equalize or even win the game. But the fact is that Manchester City is currently winning the game. Chelsea has an excellent squad, very skillful players, they should be a title contender, but unfortunately they don't have a good coach. In my opinion, they just need a good coach.

[Bitcoin_Arena]

Antoine Semenyo broke the deadlock in the 72nd minute to put Manchester City ahead of Chelsea with now a few minutes left to end the game. What a signing it has been for Manchester City.

Do you guys think Chelsea can at least score an equalizing goal before the end of regular time? They have had a couple of good chances, but Manchester City seems to be in control.

I don’t think Chelsea stands a chance here, it’ll only take a miracle for them to win this one. Manchester City is really back for some serious business on the second half, but with the way Chelsea is playing, there’s really no difference between now and the first half, it’s just as if they’re not even serious about winning this game, unlike Man City. I’m rooting for Man City, they’re already leading 1- NILL and it’s just a matter of time before they seal the fate of this game, except of course Chelsea gets a miracle.

I expect Manchester City to win today’s match and lift the FA Cup trophy, Chelsea is not inform and for that reason Manchester City should win them today without much stress but since is a final Chelsea will do everything possible to make sure that they lift the trophy since is the only trophy they can lift this season and again Chelsea has had good record of wining finals when they are not inform but I’m betting on Manchester City to win today.

Manchester City looks set to beat Chelsea. In the first 20 minutes, Manchester City dominated Chelsea. It seems that Chelsea’s poor form is the main reason to bet on Manchester City.
But this is a final; anything can happen. The team that dominates the match isn’t necessarily going to win.
To be honest, I’m not sure Chelsea can come out on top. In their last match at Stamford Bridge, Manchester City soundly defeated Chelsea 3-0.

Chelsea are using this FA cup final as their route to get back into Europe next season so you don’t expect them to sit back and watch Manchester City dismantle them easily. Chelsea will be the team that will make the most effort because they need to win this match more than Manchester City need it, even though city need the trophy. Chelsea risk not playing in Europe if they don’t win this match. Also Manchester City just played few days ago while Chelsea has had over a week rest, so it’s expected they will be more fluent in the match.

I really doubt that. City has quite a strong defensive line there, Chelsea on the other hand don’t even have any reasonable number of shots on target, meaning their chances of actually breaking that shield is quite low, and City on the other hand doesn’t look like they’re willing to give up this one. It’s gonna be a tough one for Chelsea.

Before now I already know Manchester City may win the game but why it is still a goal down is what is getting me confused from till now that the game may likely end in a draw if time is not taken.  Yes semenyo's goal is a prove his is a very good player for Manchester City, and may do more if more chances are giving to him to prove his worth at Manchester City next season.  
With the way the game is going now I am tempted to say the game may end in a draw that is if Chelsea could step up and face reality and not fear as they do now.

With the look of things, Chelsea has already been dismantled mate. There appears to be not much that Chelsea can do here, they had their time to prove how serious they were in the first half and the early stages of the second half, but they didn’t do quite much. Right now, the odds are already against them, except they somehow score a miracle goal before the clock runs out, which I don’t even see happening with their current performance on the pitch.

They managed to hold their own in the first half, but it was all for naught if they were merely reacting to Manchester City’s play.
The second half made it clear that their past record remains a strong indication that Manchester City is still too strong for Chelsea to beat.
It wasn’t until the final 10 minutes of the second half that Chelsea mounted an attack, but as soon as they reached Manchester City’s defensive zone, their attack was thwarted. It was as if they lacked direction in their attacks before Joao Pedro was substituted for Garnacho. I was watching this match on TV, and what I’m saying is exactly what I saw. Chelsea really hasn’t been very good this season.

Honestly, Chelsea might get an equalizer if City fails to double their lead because the game looks balanced.

Immediately Erling Haaland cross the ball into Chelsea 18 yard and Semenyo kick the ball I knew Manchester City has taking the lead against Chelsea. Manchester City is dominating most of the match after Semenyo gave them the lead in the 72nd minute and since the match has gotten to extra time, I don't think Chelsea could equalize as the match is remaining some few seconds to end

They have tried their best but not quite enough. The advantage Manchester City have is that squad depth, and it's general knowledge that they rested some of the stars in the mid-week game in preparation for this final
Chelsea has to go back to the drawing board and rebuild from scratch otherwise things might only get worse for them next season.

At the end of 69 minutes, the score is still 0-0. Both teams fail to end the deadlock. Chelsea's defense is doing a good job they are not allowing Citizens to have any serious threat to them in today's game. Chelsea's performance is looking much better they are having a good chance of keeping challenging Manchester City.

An impressive effort from Semenyo gives Manchester City the lead, and now their case is going to be strong for having two cups at the end of this season.

Now, how things will go in the remaining match is also interesting because Chelsea is still hunting for a goal and has balance before the end.

[shinratensei_]

I was predicting the game would end with narrow score like 1-0 and it's happening. I congratulate Manchester City for winning their second trophies this season. They deserve it as they played better than Chelsea. The comeback of some veteran owned by Chelsea make them struggle to score, but Semenyo is the hero here.
I remember backdays he was being complained for doing nothing, but this time he's proving it's only matter of time until he's cooking.

Beside that this FA trophy is making Pep to achieve his 20 trophies in 10 years on Manchester City. No doubt he's been named as GOAT of football coach. He's never stop to win trophies. CONGRATS CITY!!

Chelsea really played like the people who want to use the FA Cup to secure an Europa league football next season and they tried so hard to win Manchester City in the FA Cup final and achieve their aim but their best wasn't enough to give them the win they were looking for. Manchester City won Chelsea 1-0, and from the look of things Chelsea has no chance of playing in either the Champions League, Europa League, or Conference League.

Jao Pedro played like shit and missed one or two good chances to find the back of the net. Manchester City was able to score just one goal and defeated Chelsea with a narrow escape.

However, this was what almost everyone was expecting that Manchester City would be the winner of this tournament. Only Chelsea fans were expecting a miracle to happen without considering their current form.

Congratulations to Manchester City.

I think easily predicting who is the winner of FA Cup match, manchester city and Pep Guardiola make record after winning FA Cup and have won 3 FA Cup trophies so far specially this season not performing well in domestic league but success securing FA Cup tittle. Pep Guardiola is amazing head coach always winning many tittles when becoming the manager for every club from Barcelona, Bayern Munich and Manchester City.
Pep won all trophies with Manchester City from Premier League, Champion League, EFL Cup, FA Cup, Community Shield, UEFA Super Cup and FIFA Club World Cup, by the way if move to other club will easy winning many trophies how previous did with Manchester City?
