Man City looked tired, but they're FA Cup finalists anyway

LONDON, England -- Even tired and disappointed, Manchester City can still find a way to win.

After their Champions League exit to Real Madrid on Wednesday, following 120 minutes and a penalty shootout, City turned up at Wembley three days later for an FA Cup semifinal on Saturday against a Chelsea side fresh and in form.

Man City manager Pep Guardiola was furious that his team were asked to play in the Saturday semifinal instead of getting an extra day's rest and playing on Sunday, but where lesser teams would have crumbled, City still found enough to win 1-0 and book a Wembley return for the final at the end of May.
