Chelsea faces Crystal Palace at Wembley in an all-London FA Cup semi-finals.
Chelsea was eliminated in the quarter-finals of the Champions League by Real Madrid at Santiago Bernabeu this week on 5-3 aggregate.
The blues put up an impressive performance against the 13th-time Champions League winner but were unlucky as Rodrygo’s 86th-minute goal pushed the game to extra time after Mount, Rudiger, and Werner had given the London Club a 3 goals lead.
Chelsea will seek to qualify for their second consecutive FA Cup final after last season’s defeat to Leicester City at Wembley.
