England – Manchester City reached the final match of the FA Cup following its difficult victory over Chelsea 1-0 yesterday, Saturday, at Wembley Stadium in London in the semi-finals.

Manchester City was on its way to losing a second title within three days after being eliminated from the Champions League quarter-finals at the hands of Real Madrid, because Chelsea was the better and more dangerous side on goal, but it paid the price for its Senegalese international striker Nicholas Jackson wasting more than one opportunity to score a goal. Man City.
Manchester City maintained its hopes of achieving the double this year as it leads the league by two points against Arsenal and Liverpool, after it was aiming to repeat the treble last season by losing the title of the prestigious continental competition, which it won for the first time in its history last season when it lost on penalties (3-4) to Real Madrid on Wednesday (they tied 3-3 in Madrid and 1-1 in Manchester).
Man City aspires to its eighth title in the cup competition and the third under the leadership of its Spanish coach, Pep Guardiola.
In the final, Man City awaits the winner of the confrontation that will bring together Manchester United, last season’s runner-up, with Coventry City from the Champions League tomorrow, Sunday.
