Bernardo missed the penalty against Real, but now he sent the team to the final!
She was tired, coming from extra time, penalties and suspension from Real Madrid , missing Haaland , showing defensive imbalance and gaps in time. She accepted the phases, she was lucky, she didn’t “pay” for her naivety. And as Chelsea didn’t “kill” Manchester City , Pep Guardiola ‘s team did so in the final. “Golden” scorer in the 85th minute Bernardo Silva , City will play again at Wembley in the FA Cup final .
We wrote them a few hours ago. A victory over Chelsea at Wembley will not be an easy task . Mauricio Pochettino ‘s team is better, in proportion to the game they have to manage. The more pressure she undergoes, the better she copes and shows her improvement.
The aforementioned element was noticed again. Chelsea were determined to give everything they had and didn’t have against the “citizens” to play in the second final in a matter of days, and Manchester City will have to manage their fatigue. It came from extra time, penalties and Real Madrid’s disqualification, there wasn’t even Erling Haaland in the squad.
Celebrating a great qualification to the FA Cup final.
She was the favorite, with all the odds against her. And in the end, despite adverse conditions and without performing particularly well, she celebrated a great qualification to the FA Cup final . But how did we reach the final 1-0, with Bernardo Silva as the scorer?
The Londoners entered the match in excellent fashion, closing spaces, taking advantage of Palmer ‘s chance at the end of the quarter, and had the best moments until the end of the first half.
Jackson wasted a good chance in the 37th minute when he missed Ortega , and Palmer found his moment in the 37th minute , with the City goalkeeper saying no.
Pep Guardiola ‘s team finished the first half without conceding a final shot and almost got back on the scoreboard at the start of the restart, but Jackson missed again from close range.
Thus, she was not “punished” for her poor suspension role, threatened De Bruyne and Foden and was “redeemed” in the 85th minute . It’s exactly twenty minutes, after the blues’ protests over a penalty, awarded to Grillis, following a foul by Palmer.
Thus, in the 85th minute, it was Bernardo Silva who shaped the final result. He scored from close range, making it 1-0 and celebrating furiously with his teammates, in front of the “blue” stands. Great qualification for the “citizens”, they will play again at Wembley , aiming for the second consecutive FA Cup and the 8th overall in their history!
