Trafford, Nunes, Khusanov, Guéhi, O'Reilly, Rodri, Bernardo (C), Semenyo, Marmoush, Doku, Haaland.

Subs: Donnarumma, Dias, Reijnders, Stones, Ake, Kovacic, Cherki, Savinho, Foden

I'd like to have seen Foden or Cherki instead of Semenyo

Slow, slower & sleeping. WTF

It's a cup final, how about a bit of passion and pace.

Not a thriller so far but City a bit better than Chelsea. Semenyo and Marmoush need to do something quickly in the second half or the could well get the hook.

Very dull.

Chelsea will be very happy with that 1st half. Controlled us well. Need to change our tactics in the second half.

Great innovative goal.

All's well that ends well.

Domestic double in the trophy cabinet.

Two trophies a season, Pep keeping up his average.

Great finish to win it. Worthy of winning a final.

2 cups is a great season!

I've still not given up on the Premier League, 1% chance but I'll cling on to that until it's gone.

Sadly I'm also 1% convinced Pep will be here next year 😢

I said earlier this season when we were in transition and all over the place that we would get better in the second half of the season. I hoped we could win the Carabao Cup as a consolation to prevent another blank trophy season. That was my realistic expectation and hope.

To win the domestic double has been way beyond my expectations. To still have a slim chance of the domestic treble, just highlights what a genius Pep really is.

For all those who were crying out to blame Pep and have him sacked for our early season transition form, go and wobble your heads then hang it in shame.
