After a hectic battle against Real Madrid in the second leg of the Champions League quarter-final on Wednesday, with City going out on penalties, the Cityzens looked jaded physically and mentally, as they took the field against the Blues on Saturday. Pep Guardiola expressed anger over the FA's decision to schedule the match on Saturday instead of postponing it by a day. Manchester United are playing Coventry City in the second semi-final on Sunday, however, neither of those sides played in midweek.
