Cole Palmer’s effort was pushed away by Ortega. Phil Foden had a glorious chance to give City the lead, but Cucurella cleared the ball.
In the second half, City improved their game and had their chances through Phil Foden and Kevin De Bruyne, but Chelsea goalkeeper Petrovic denied them brilliantly. Bernado Silva got the only goal of the game in the 87th minute of the game to send Manchester City into the final.
Speaking after the game, Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola was not happy with the fixture. “People can’t understand the punch in our face to be out of the Champions League. Why not give us an extra day with Manchester United, Chelsea, and Coventry not playing in midweek?”. For the broadcasters, ok, don’t ask me to do extra things after the game, because I am not going to do it.” He said.
