+++ Over! +++
That’s it! Manchester City fights its way to the final. The opponent will be determined on Sunday between Coventry City and Manchester United.
+++ 90th+8 minutes: Chelsea gets another free kick +++
Walker takes another free kick on the left wing. But Mudryk kicks the ball way too far – that’s it for Chelsea!
+++ 90th +6 minutes: City has everything under control +++
ManCity is keeping the Blues far away from their own box and will probably not let anything go wrong here.

+++ 90th minute: Does Chelsea still have an answer? +++
Mudryk takes a corner, but City clears. Eight minutes of added time are shown. At the moment everything speaks for City.
+++ 84th minute: GOAL for ManCity! +++
1-0 for Manchester City! De Bruyne brings the ball from the left to the middle. Petrovic still has his foot on it, but the ball jumps straight to Silva. Cucurella can no longer save. City is on course for the final.

+++ 82nd minute: City looks for the gap +++
ManCity settles in the opponent’s penalty area and lets the ball circulate freely. In the end it’s Alvarez who finishes, but the ball sails towards the top.
+++ 78th minute: Hot final phase +++
Ortega needs short treatment but can continue. Chelsea are bringing in fresh players again: Madueke makes room for Mudryk and Disasi replaces Gusto.

+++ 72nd minute: Gusto crouches on the floor +++
Now Chelsea’s right-back Gusto apparently has problems, Gusto needs treatment on his left knee. But for now things continue for him.
+++ 70th minute: Open exchange of blows +++
Now City is increasingly on the offensive again. Substitute Doku first forces Petrovic to defend with his feet, then De Bruyne shoots past to the right.
+++ 64th minute: Grealish is treated +++
Grealish was injured in a challenge against Caicedo in midfield and required treatment. Things don’t go any further for the city star, he trots off the lawn a little unevenly. Jeremy Doku is in the game for Grealish.
+++ 61st minute: Walker runs away from Jackson +++
Jackson starts a full sprint in his own half, but Walker gets on his heels and puts the Chelsea attacker in the penalty area with decent but still legitimate physical effort.
+++ 56th minute: Handball? Chelsea protests +++
When Palmer takes a free kick for Chelsea, Grealish is in the wall with his hand on the ball. Referee Michael Oliver decides on a goal kick, but then receives a radio message from the VAR. After a brief consultation, he stuck to his decision: no penalty. City shouldn’t have complained about a penalty. Nevertheless, there should have been a corner. Those don’t exist either.
+++ 53rd minute: Foden sets an example +++
On the other hand, Foden creates danger. Petrovic is there when he shoots from the edge of the penalty area.
+++ 49th minute: Ortega twice strong +++
Chelsea is pushing! Jackson finishes relatively freely on the edge of the box, and Ortega deflects the low shot to the side. But Chelsea remain in possession of the ball. Once again, Jackson appears free in front of Ortega after a cross with his head – but the ex-Bielefeld player is there with a reflex.
+++ 47th minute: Ortega inadequate +++
Ortega fails to break free, but Madueke doesn’t benefit. The Chelsea star’s finish goes way beyond that.
+++ 46th minute: Let’s move on! +++
Both teams return to the pitch. There is a change at City: Ruben Dias replaces John Stones.
+++ Half time! City dominates – Chelsea with better chances +++
No goals at Wembley yet! ManCity has more ball possession (60 percent), but Chelsea set the more dangerous pinpricks. Ortega defused the biggest chance against Palmer.
+++ 45th minute: Yellow for Caicedo +++
City increases the pressure again. In front of the box, Caicedo only knows how to make do with a jersey pull against Grealish. However, the subsequent free kick fizzled out.
+++ 43rd minute: Dangerous free kick for City? +++
Caicedo Foden lays it on the left at the corner of the penalty area – clear: free kick for City. Will it be dangerous again before the break? No! Foden takes the cross himself, but the ball sails wide into the goal.
+++ 41st minute: Chelsea is missing the last tick +++
The Blues continue to establish themselves in the Citizens’ half. However, a cross from Gusto is a little too far. Walker lets the ball drip off his chest for Ortega.
+++ 37. Minute: Ortega aimed against Palmer +++
Chelsea with a little moment of urgency. Palmer gets through to the right of the penalty area and finishes flat towards the far corner. Ortega reacts quickly, dives and prevents the player from falling behind. Strong action from both!
+++ 35th minute: Stone blocks Madueke +++
Chelsea’s counterattacks remain dangerous, but there is a problem with finishing. Madueke shoots on the right side of the penalty area, Stones throws himself in and blocks.
+++ 30th minute: Jackson makes a mistake +++
Chelsea striker Nicolas Jackson suddenly appears alone in front of Ortega. But the attacker acts too indecisively, allows himself to be pushed away and his cross pass ends up in the City defense that has rushed back.
+++ 27th minute: City offside again +++
Grealish crosses from the left side with a cut to the goal. Foden dives under the ball, Bernardo Silva rushes towards the second post, but Petrovic fails. But all the excitement was in vain because Foden was previously offside.
+++ 20th minute: Alvarez only hits De Bruyne +++
Closest approach from Man City! Julian Alvarez hits two hooks in the penalty area, but only hits De Bruyne with his shot on goal. To make matters worse, the Belgian is also offside.
+++ 14th minute: Angle too sharp for Foden +++
Brilliant through ball from De Bruyne to Foden. The attacker curves around Petrovic, but then the angle becomes too acute. When he falls, Foden can no longer bring the ball onto the goal.

+++ 13th minute: City faulty +++
Next sloppy ball in the build-up game: This time Kyle Walker plays the ball into Cole Palmer’s foot. The attack creates a corner for the Blues. But City clarifies.
+++ 7th minute: Jackson checks Ortega +++
City loses the ball while building up the game, Palmer quickly passes it on to Jackson. However, the attacker slips away when finishing, no problem for Ortega.
+++ 6th minute: Hectic start +++
City becomes a little more dominant, the Blues retreat and tighten the chains in front of the box.
+++ 1st minute: Kick-off +++
The ball at Wembley Stadium is released. And Chelsea immediately takes command. Cucurella breaks through to the baseline on the left, but his cross sails past friend and foe.

+++ ManCity ohne Haaland +++
At ManCity, Stefan Ortega is in the box, but Erling Haaland is missing. The ailing top star is not in the squad.
“He’s injured,” City coach Pep Guardiola told the BBC before kick-off. He doesn’t think it’s anything more serious, but he doesn’t know whether Haaland will be available again for the upcoming game.
