As the three remaining bidders wait to discover if they are chosen to buy out sanctioned Russian owner Roman Abramovich, the west London club beat Crystal Palace 2-0 in the semifinals of world football바카라s oldest competition on Sunday.
Goals from Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Mason Mount ensured the eight-time FA Cup winners will be back at Wembley on May 14 to face Liverpool which beat them at the national stadium on penalties in the League Cup final in February.
바카라Now it's time to get our payback,바카라 Mount said. Before then it could take 3 billion pounds ($4 billion) to gain control of Chelsea once the enforced sale goes through. The ownership contenders are, in part, being assessed on how much they will have to invest throughout the club, including player recruitment.
The victory over Patrick Vieira's Palace was produced by goals from graduates of the Chelsea academy that benefited from Abramovich's lavish spending. Such is the challenge to break into the first team, both had to gain playing experience on loan elsewhere, including Loftus-Cheek at London rival Palace.
The 26-year-old midfielder's career was also stalled by rupturing his Achilles tendon in May 2019 and he hadn't scored for the club since that month until breaking the deadlock against Palace in the 65th minute.
바카라It's been a tough road, injuries and going on loan to find my form again,바카라 Loftus Cheek said. 바카라I always believed in myself and I always wanted to play for Chelsea. The reason I'm still here is my mentality. I still believe in myself.바카라
It was Tyrick Mitchell being dispossessed that created the opening for Chelsea which ended with Kai Havertz's attempted pass deflecting off Marc Guehi to the edge of the penalty area where Loftus-Cheek struck into the top corner.
Thomas Tuchel is now encouraging Loftus-Cheek to make such decisive contributions more often. 바카라He is the opposite of overconfidence,바카라 the Chelsea manager said. 바카라We need to install this confidence into his body and his game. This is the next step for him to feel the influence he can have.바카라
Mount's goal in the 76th minute came after playing a one-two with Timo Werner before having the time and space to shoot past Jack Butland.
A week that featured a Champions League quarterfinal elimination at Real Madrid ended on a high for Chelsea reaching a sixth final in a year under Tuchel 바카라 with the FIFA Club World Cup, European Cup and UEFA Super Cup lifted. Chelsea lost the 2021 FA Cup final to Leicester.
바카라It was challenging for us to keep that focus and discipline because you know our schedule 바카라 a very demanding schedule,바카라 Tuchel said. 바카라This is where the credit goes to my team.바카라
There was double semifinal success for Chelsea on Sunday. The Women's FA Cup holders beat Arsenal 2-0 on Sunday to set up a final meeting with Manchester City at Wembley on May 15 바카라 the day after the men's showpiece in the same venue.
By then, Chelsea could have retained its Women's Super League title. The men's team only, realistically, has third place to keep hold of in the Premier League, with Manchester City and Liverpool vying for the trophy.
