"“They have got the belief they can beat anyone. We just know that we have to be the best version of ourselves. They [City] are an exceptional side with an exceptional coach and exceptional players, so they're going to be a challenge, but we also have some really good players, and these players have shown that if they're at their best, they can beat anyone.”"
"“I've actually been happy with the way the whole group's responded,” he added. “Players in the squad, players out the squad, the level of professionalism that has been shown at all times. “There's obviously players with great experience in there that have played in big competitions and had big moments in their career; you want their opinion, you want how they feel about the game, you want to have that dialogue with those players. I have that with pretty much the whole squad.”"
"Chelsea have lost their last six domestic finals, three in the FA Cup and three in the EFL Cup, and have not lifted a trophy at Wembley since the win over Manchester United six years ago. They also haven't beaten City since the 2021 Champions League final, a run of 13 games. The odds are stacked against Chelsea tomorrow but McFarlane says his players are ready to cause a cup shock."
Chelsea face Manchester City in the FA Cup final with odds stacked against them. Chelsea have lost their last six domestic finals and have not won at Wembley since beating Manchester United six years ago. They have not beaten City since the 2021 Champions League final, extending a 13-game run. Interim boss Calum McFarlane says the squad believes it can beat anyone and must produce their best performance. The season has been turbulent, with Enzo Maresca and Liam Rosenior sacked and McFarlane appointed temporarily. Chelsea are ninth and have not won in the Premier League since early March, but McFarlane is pleased with the professionalism and responsiveness of the group.
