Chelsea player ratings vs Man City: Nicolas Jackson misses prove costly with Enzo Fernandez sloppy in midfield

Chelsea had a tough loss in the semi-final against Manchester City, losing 1-0 even though they played better throughout the whole game.

Bernardo Silva scored the winning goal in the 84th minute after Kevin De Bruyne’s pass. Chelsea had a hard time, especially after playing 120 minutes against Real Madrid earlier in the week.

Fans were upset when Chelsea didn’t get a penalty after Cole Palmer’s kick seemed to hit Jack Grealish’s arm.

But Chelsea had their chances to score too, especially Nicolas Jackson, who missed some good opportunities.
