🏆 The Emirates FA Cup - 2025/2026 soon

[Rockstarguy]

Of course, it was an interesting game but I wasn't surprised towards Chelsea performance because I knew that they'd take the match very seriously and see if luck can make them win. However, luck wasn't at the side of Chelsea but on the side of Manchester City. I saw the fustration on Pep face after the end of the first half because he didn't expect a tough challenge from Chelsea.

Who would have ever think that Chelsea will play as they did yesterday, just a quick reminder this is a team that we have watched playing hopelessly in different occasions this season, they have been won by teams that are not their equals in the English premier League, the played how many matches without scoring goals, there are many things that happened which could make people see Chelsea not to be a problem to Manchester City in that final yesterday but seeing Chelsea beating all odds with surprising performance is something that was not expected, who knows how the match would've ended if Manchester City was not lucky to score that goal, this matche has a lot to explain to us about expectations of the most preferred teams especially in league cup finals.

Honestly, the game was very boring, and the funny thing is that Manchester City were not at their best during that game. One thing I observed with Chelsea players is that they are not even coordinated; they lack control in the game, and even the good chances they had, they couldn't utilize very well.

They were too slow, and running with the ball or even making a pass was a problem for them. The first goal from Manchester City was disallowed; if not, Manchester City would have scored more than one goal. I was not surprised by Chelsea's performance against Manchester City because I am already not impressed by their performance this season—nothing to be surprised about in their performance.

Manchester City managed to lift the FA Cup in the final. In a match that ended goalless in the first half, City defeated their opponents Chelsea 1–0 thanks to a goal from Semenyo in the second half and claimed the trophy. It must be said that it was not an easy match for City. In my view, Chelsea didn’t play particularly well either, but given City’s squad and well-established game plan, it must be said that they were the side that managed to win the match. City deserve congratulations.

I will not say that Chelsea did not play well in the game because of the way they have been playing since the half of the season and Manchester City is in a good form more than Chelsea, Chelsea tried their best and one thing we don’t understand about Chelsea is that they are not a team that knows how to play a final game, Chelsea is very hard to defeat in a final that is why they always fight well against any opponent they play with no matter how poor their performance is throughout the season.

Congratulations to Manchester City for winning a deserved FA Cup, the team has now won two domestic trophies this season despite having a poor season from the beginning of the season and being eliminated from the Champions League by Real Madrid, they deserve the trophies because they fight for it and it is now remain the premier league race against Arsenal maybe Arsenal might make a mistake and drop points in their remaining games.

The first half was interesting because both Chelsea and Manchester city was countering each other and they played absolutely well. I almost said Chelsea was going to win Manchester city when I was watching the first half because it was really interesting and I didn't expect Chelsea to play to that extent perhaps the reason was because of their players that was back but Pep Guardiola still proves to them he's in charger after losing to crystal palace last season.

It was indeed a narrow escape for Manchester City yesterday in the FA Cup final. Quite alright, I was confident Manchester City will win definitely but I expected more goals, at least a goal from each team. It's now obvious that Chelsea is not longer capable of beating Manchester City anymore since they won against them in a crucial champions league final. With a new coach, I hope Chelsea can get better next season because their overall performance this season was absolutely horrible. And most importantly they need professional players if they want to succeed because the current squad doesn't look convincing at all.

The result of the finale is no surprise to me. Manchester City were already highly favoured for winning the cup. But I must admit that the way they played actually surprised me.

Because they weren't the usual Guardiol's team which is quite dominant. Chelsea had an opportunity because of that but couldn't take advantage of it.

Now with Xabi Alonso I'm not sure how things will change. The owner should listen to his calls on future transfers otherwise it looks difficult.

Things will change well, with Xabi Alonso part of them taking transfer decisions, I believe they will work hard to make it hundred percent. Players like Neto, Sanchez the goalkeeper will leave or dropped. Xabi Alonso will most likely invest in experience and talent.

Manchester City has lost shape, I mean how they play with intensive marking and pressing, it was a lot dull and possessive, with a few giveaways for Chelsea to counter attack. That Chelsea guy in charge had a clear plan but it wasn't properly executed and with the penalty calls denied, they couldn't get a goal.

Manchester City pulled a very intelligent one on Chelsea yesterday. A. Semenyo's goal was brilliant and unexpected and that was the only way to score the tight Chelsea defense. If City wins the premier League, then this season would be very exceptional for them coming back from a very bad start to the league and winning all titles. City deserves the win actually, they were the better side. Congratulations to them. Chelsea has been in Wembley for 7 FA cup finals now and lost all, what a bad way to make history.

The final match is always a very interesting match for anyone because this is the last match so for both of them will be more careful in attack and defense therefore the Manchester City match is not the same as we saw in the previous match, a very exciting match presented in this FA cup final with a very thin goal 1-0, congratulations to Manchester City.
Now Chelsea have new hope with a new coach who once made the world interested in seeing him, next season will be a different feel for Chelsea.

Congratulations to Manchester City they were the favorite to win the trophy they played very well today and Chelsea also played very well the two teams put in their best everyone expected Manchester City to win the trophy because they are better than Chelsea this season, now that Manchester City has won the trophy they will now be looking to fight for the premier League title and if Arsenal should make any mistake by drawing any of their match they will definitely lose the premier League title the only way for Arsenal to win the premier League title is for them to win the two matches remaining for them.

City has won the FA cup final against Chelsea 1-0. In the final City dominated the first half 59% possession 6 shots but no big chance created from both sides City kept Chelsea in their own half . In the second half Chelsea tried to get back possession and he ended at 48% possession for the second half City gets the breakthrough in the 72nd minute Semenyo scored that goal. Chelsea kept high pressure on the City in the second half but didn't get any goal and City has now won the FA cup . Marc Guehi is named as player of the match.

[Accardo]

Yes they kept up with City in terms of possession stats, but they were poor at creating chances, as if they were at a loss as to what to do once they had the ball. This match was not what I expected. But I was quite impressed with Semenyo single goal, a beautiful goal in my opinion. And congratulations to Man City for the win and it means they've got another trophy this season.

Losing begets losses, Chelsea had the longest losing streaks towards the end of this season, and it'll be rare to win a game after experiencing losses in their previous encounters, not minding the league. However, they did well to hit the final stage of the FA cup, it's not easy, City have the advantage of winning their games, and it's a part of them this time. Playing Chelsea was not a simple game, the only issue with the blues on that game, which I could recall, is their poor attacking accuracy, Palmer was in the game, and lost some chances that would have yielded a goal for his team. A club with a weak defensive line, would rather do better enhancing their attacking force to strengthen the team's capability of scoring goals.

Honestly speaking, Man City dominated Chelsea In every way, both tactically and technically, it was an immerse performance for Man City and if not for Nico O'Reilly selflessness in the oppositions final third, the score would have even be more that than one goal advantage. We saw over 2 times where O'Reilly has clear cut chance to shoot and score but he always decided to pass, that's one of the reason for some of those goal.

[Adiljutt156]

Congratulations to Manchester City they did very well in this match but I was expecting Chelsea to win, I expected them to put up a good fight and then win the match, anyway they really tried but they didn’t do well, Chelsea needs a very good manager that will come in and change the team, they have good players all they need is a good manager, look at Manchester United now they are doing well because of their wonderful manager, if Chelsea should sign a good manager they will start performing better. Manchester City are doing well and they may end up lifting the premier league trophy because Arsenal always make a mistake.

The team who plays well in the match, it win the match. Manchester City football team effort was great in this match because players were confident to play in this game and they gave their great effort in this match. That was a two sided match because both teams effort was great in this match and Manchester City team won the match at the end. Chelsea team should try to do goal at the start of the match but they could not build pressure in this match and that was a reason they could not win this match. Manchester City football team is strong team because they have a mindset of winners and Chelsea mindset is of losers . Everything was in the favour of Manchester City team and they were favorite to win this match and they won the match in the end

City deserves it. My club gave what they had in Chelsea game. So they won the trophy. A bit nervious when Chelsea had many of their key players comeback, but very happy they can reduce Chelsea's intensity. So one nil was already good result for my club and they're now winning two trophies in a season.
I think this achievement is more than enough to keep Pep to still coach them.

The won of FA cup is also making Pep won 20 trophies in 10 years, which is making him won 2 trophies averagely in anyseason. It's something that hardly to be achieved by another coach except fergie.
If pep is deciding to stay, i think we will cook more trophies next season.

Yes, the first half was quite interesting. Sometimes football doesn't always work out as we expected. I couldn't believe that Chelsea help Manchester City first-half draw, considering they are not in good shape, but it was indeed an entertaining first half. Honestly, there's always high performance in finals, no matter how inconsistent a team might be. But once they find themselves in the final, they will definitely play more seriously. Anyways, big congratulations to Manchester City. It is not easy at all, they have absolutely done what needed to be done.

The Blues had their moment but Manchester City knows how to get the job done in finals even when the team don't play their best football, they still find a way to win the game it is very pleased for them for staying composed and taking their chances, but it was a tough match truly but Chelsea's look where a bit nervous going forward while Manchester City were more organised and discipline one was so much enough to end the game Congratulation to Manchester City they really deserved the trophy.

[ITExpert]

I knew Manchester City would win this game, so I bet on them, even though they only managed to score one goal. Still, it was a victory, and Chelsea showed once again that they have a good squad with many skillful players, but unfortunately they don't have a good coach. Guardiola is an excellent coach; he can see the problems in the squad and correct them with new signings, whereas Chelsea wasted a lot of money on signings and coaches, and in the end, they had poor results in domestic competitions.

Your guess was correct that the game was very fast in this game. The goal was started by Semenyo and it became a role in Manchester City Victoria today's game. This player scored in the 71st minute. No player tried before and after that and because of his improvement, Manchester City victory this game. They showed a lot of improvement and power but Manchester City can defeat even a stronger team than themselves, so Chelsea lost here. This is the problem of Chelsea's management. If they leave their team like this, they will not be able to play super and will continue to lose games in the same way. This will be taken seriously in the next season. Then Chelsea will get their own coach and they will correct their mistakes and go on a victory streak. They did not know how to invest money in a proper way, although they did whatever they felt like, but still the energy of the team could not improve.

Congratulations to Manchester City for winning their first trophy for FA Cup this season!
They deserved to win and I think they managed to do it with half power, now they can focus on Premier League.
It is going to be hard to catch boring Arsenal so they need to smash Bournemouth tomorrow and hope for the best in last match.

First trophy for FA Cup?
There's always only one each season  

Anyway, they did win the EFL trophy against Arsenal earlier on. They were looking to send off Guardiola with a treble. I don't know how City will cope after Guardiola leaves.
