A double-treble is now out of the question after Man City lost on penalties to Real Madrid but Pep Guardiola's side turn their attention to the FA Cup semi-final clash with Chelsea as they look to retain two of their three trophies from last season now. Despite controlling the game, City's failure to capitalize on key moments resulted in an agonizing exit, underlining a poignant chapter of what-if in their storied pursuit of glory.
Now a trip to Wembley Stadium awaits and City are the favourites at 8/13 with CopyBet while Chelsea are the longshots at 4/1 and a draw is 16/5.
Conversely, Chelsea has emerged from a period of underachievement with renewed vigor. Despite an uncharacteristic ninth-place standing that belies the club's prestigious reputation, their recent 6-0 thrashing of Everton signals a potential shift in fortunes. This emphatic win hints at the consistency Chelsea has sorely missed throughout the season.
Notably, Chelsea has maintained an unbeaten streak in league matches since February, marred only by a narrow loss to Liverpool in the Carabao Cup Final after extra time. That defeat, suffered at Wembley, drew sharp critiques for their inability to withstand Liverpool's youthful vigor.
With Chelsea poised to make a triumphant return to Wembley, this upcoming match offers them a chance for vindication and to infuse their season with much-needed distinction. Both squads stand on the brink of what promises to be a legendary encounter, with City eager to redeem themselves and Chelsea aiming to extend their resurgence.
