:00:39. > :00:50.It is Willian, who scores the Chelsea! Flick on and it is in the
:00:51. > :00:55.net. Harry Kane, who else? Son slid in. Penalty. Willian to put Chelsea
:00:56. > :01:00.in front, and he does. Erickson, delightful ball. What a great goal,
:01:01. > :01:07.Dele Alli scores it! It is dangerous, it is Hazard, it is in!
:01:08. > :01:15.Eden Hazard scores the Chelsea. Oh, brilliant goal! Na man you Matic
:01:16. > :01:19.with a hammer by drive. -- Chelsea are into the 2017 FA Cup final.
:01:20. > :01:31.And it promises to be another intriguing semifinal. Should Arsene
:01:32. > :01:35.Wenger sign up from English football this season, will he do it with a
:01:36. > :01:39.record seventh FA Cup title or can Pep Guardiola makes a more happy
:01:40. > :01:43.Wembley memories and replicate Antonio Conte by making it to the FA
:01:44. > :01:46.Cup final in his first season in England? Talking you to this one is
:01:47. > :01:55.Martin Keown and Guy Mowbray. It is part two of a hard-hitting
:01:56. > :02:01.Wembley weekend. It is a tie that is exactly how an FA Cup semifinal
:02:02. > :02:04.should be, no occasion, no big Day out, for both clubs and bosses, it
:02:05. > :02:09.is a means to an end, they really need this trophy. And Arsenal team
:02:10. > :02:13.unchanged from last Monday's win at Middlesbrough, which means Arsene
:02:14. > :02:17.Wenger has again gone with a back three, including 21-year-old Rob
:02:18. > :02:21.Holding. Oxlade-Chamberlain and Nacho Monreal are they wide players
:02:22. > :02:24.and with speculation linking Alexis Sanchez with a move to Manchester
:02:25. > :02:31.City, today he will try and beat them at a ground where he has scored
:02:32. > :02:37.five goals in four club and country games. For Manchester City, the same
:02:38. > :02:42.11 as last weekend. Claudio Bravo keeping out his countryman. Yaya
:02:43. > :02:47.Toure, David Silva and Vincent Kompany were all part of the team
:02:48. > :02:48.that set things up for the modern-day City with their cup win
:02:49. > :02:54.in 2011. Sanchez twists his way past De
:02:55. > :03:08.Bruyne. Torre has to be quick. He finds
:03:09. > :03:16.David Silva, who was too quick for Gabriel. City free kick. Better from
:03:17. > :03:20.Arsenal, their best moment of the game. Ozil linking really well.
:03:21. > :03:23.Gabriel just too eager to win the ball back. You can see what Pep
:03:24. > :03:34.Guardiola thinks. Now it is Ozil. He is pulled to the
:03:35. > :03:39.floor by Vincent Kompany. A free kick for Arsenal, a chance to get
:03:40. > :03:48.the ball in for Giroud. He has done well there, Ozil, brilliant touch,
:03:49. > :03:53.just takes it away from company. -- Vincent Kompany. Giroud beat him
:03:54. > :04:00.that I'm but the flag is up. As Koscielny puts it in, it will count
:04:01. > :04:04.for nothing. Some sections of the Arsenal crowd haven't realised it
:04:05. > :04:08.yet. It is Giroud who heads it back in and the City defence comes up
:04:09. > :04:14.brilliantly to catch Koscielny offside. Great finish, though.
:04:15. > :04:21.Torre urged to shoot by some sections of the support.
:04:22. > :04:32.Arsenal's defensive shape being stretched. Yaya Toure. Gets away
:04:33. > :04:36.from Giroud. Aguero down as though tripped. And Craig Pawson could not
:04:37. > :04:42.have had a better view and didn't think he was. It is a City throw.
:04:43. > :04:49.Pep Guardiola has had his arms stretched out wide. Aguero has a
:04:50. > :04:52.look back. Did he trip himself? I think maybe. It is minimal contact.
:04:53. > :05:04.He did trip himself. Sane is coming in. Forster a little
:05:05. > :05:07.wide by the pass. The flag is up, City have the ball in the net but
:05:08. > :05:12.the flag is up to say the ball crossed the line earlier and the
:05:13. > :05:17.ball went out of play. Steve Child is the man who has made that big
:05:18. > :05:21.call. It was the cross from Sane that looks like it would come down
:05:22. > :05:26.on the top of the net. The verdict is that the ball went out of play
:05:27. > :05:30.and curled back in. We can't possibly see from that angle. We'll
:05:31. > :05:41.take it that the linesman can see it. Here we go. No, I don't think it
:05:42. > :05:44.has gone out. With the ball in the air like that, it is really hard to
:05:45. > :05:48.tell if the whole of the ball has gone over the line. It certainly did
:05:49. > :05:50.from Aguero and from Stirling. Arsenal have got away with one
:05:51. > :06:04.there. Free kick Arsenal again. Swung in by
:06:05. > :06:08.personal or Oxlade-Chamberlain. It is Oxlade-Chamberlain. And the
:06:09. > :06:13.referee has a look about as Arsenal players run towards him. It was
:06:14. > :06:19.Sanchez who went down. It is Claudio Bravo who gets on with the game
:06:20. > :06:24.quickly. Sane goes down now and free kick to Arsenal in their own half of
:06:25. > :06:28.the field. Just looking at Sanchez, he gets the wrong side of Jesus
:06:29. > :06:32.Navas but goes down very easily. But look at that, it is a desperate hold
:06:33. > :06:37.from Jesus Navas. Both arms around him.
:06:38. > :06:48.Oxlade-Chamberlain, past De Bruyne. Sane to beat. Aaron Ramsey... Good
:06:49. > :06:53.tackle by Yaya Toure, who has got Aguero going. Aguero will try and
:06:54. > :07:01.stay in front of Monreal. And Aguero lists the ball over to score! --
:07:02. > :07:06.lifts the ball over petty cheque to score. Manchester City's magnificent
:07:07. > :07:11.Number Ten, 30 goals this season, the breakthrough goal in the FA Cup
:07:12. > :07:16.semifinal and it all came about with Aaron Ramsey losing possession to
:07:17. > :07:21.Yaya Toure. Aguero there, it is such a clever finish. The ball to him
:07:22. > :07:25.from Yaya Toure. He is just too quick for Monreal. He waits for the
:07:26. > :07:30.keeper to come and makes it look so easy. It is a stunning finish, just
:07:31. > :07:37.as City looked like they were being outplayed by Arsenal. A Manchester
:07:38. > :07:43.City breakaway and and Aguero finish of brilliance. It looked as though
:07:44. > :07:46.he had touched the ball too far in front of himself and petty cheque
:07:47. > :07:53.would get there. Was petty cheque a little bit slow? I think if he
:07:54. > :07:56.doesn't come straightaway, he shouldn't really come at all. Once
:07:57. > :07:58.it comes, he makes it so easy for Aguero to make his mind up -- once
:07:59. > :08:06.he comes. Not so good with his left foot. That
:08:07. > :08:27.was a scoop. Oxlade-Chamberlain. Really good
:08:28. > :08:34.cross. Really good finish. Nacho Monreal has buried that! And Arsenal
:08:35. > :08:40.are back in it. A man who almost never scores. Well,
:08:41. > :08:44.Oxlade-Chamberlain, he has been outstanding on this right-hand side.
:08:45. > :08:50.It is the other wingback, Monreal, playing more like a winger, who puts
:08:51. > :08:55.it away. It says everything about Arsenal's system. It is a great
:08:56. > :09:00.finish off his right foot. No City defender inside, really. The keeper
:09:01. > :09:05.just can't stop it. Nacho Monreal's first goal in over two years. His
:09:06. > :09:10.last one was a big one, it came in the FA Cup quarterfinal at
:09:11. > :09:18.Manchester United. What a tie we have got are now. In response to the
:09:19. > :09:21.City fans, Arsenal fans are doing their own Poznan. Even if nothing
:09:22. > :09:27.happens in terms of goals now, we will be having another half an hour.
:09:28. > :09:34.Yaya Toure held off Ramsey. Sterling has a chance to hit it. Yaya Toure
:09:35. > :09:39.hits it. Off the upright with petty cheque beaten. It has bounced off
:09:40. > :09:44.Navas and will be a goal kick. Yaya Toure very nearly won the title
:09:45. > :09:55.City. It is an inspired shop from their and no right to get it on
:09:56. > :10:00.target. It is a great save. Finger tip saved from Cech. It is in the
:10:01. > :10:09.back of the net. Guardiola knows it as well. What a save.
:10:10. > :10:20.Sane. De Bruyne gets it back to him. Vital stuff from Gabriel. Sane
:10:21. > :10:21.finally getting away from Oxlade-Chamberlain. Gabriel there to
:10:22. > :10:32.the rescue. No City presence in the six yard
:10:33. > :10:37.box. Now the movement start and it is after bar! Thundering header. And
:10:38. > :10:42.the follow-up shot from Navas is well wide. Fernandinho was close,
:10:43. > :10:47.really, really close. He just gets over the top of Koscielny and it is
:10:48. > :10:51.only the bar that stops him. Get some fantastically well, plenty of
:10:52. > :10:56.power. Just can't get it down inside the goal.
:10:57. > :11:05.I think that might signal extra time now. He's composing his words to his
:11:06. > :11:08.players. Arsene Wenger likewise. The firm is up from Arsene Wenger, he's
:11:09. > :11:13.more than pleased with what he has seen in the second half. Holding
:11:14. > :11:20.daily ran that straight to De Bruyne. Now he has run into trouble.
:11:21. > :11:24.And that will do it for the 90. Sergio Aguero is going to have to
:11:25. > :11:27.summon up the energy for another half an hour. He gave City the lead
:11:28. > :11:32.but the lead lasted less than ten minutes. Nacho Monreal, much more
:11:33. > :11:38.unlikely goal-scorer than Sergio Aguero. It is one apiece from those
:11:39. > :11:43.two. We are heading for extra time. We shouldn't be surprised the 90
:11:44. > :11:46.minutes ended in a draw, that is five draws in the last ten meetings
:11:47. > :11:56.between these teams. Are really determined Danny Welbeck.
:11:57. > :12:03.Three to pull it back four. Welbeck buys himself some time. That was
:12:04. > :12:08.blocked by Otamendi. Arsenal corner. He saw the freshness from Welbeck.
:12:09. > :12:13.Pics Fernandinho's pocket. Arsenal lifted by that.
:12:14. > :12:27.Ozil with the corner and headed just over the top by roadholding. What a
:12:28. > :12:32.story that would have been for the youngster -- just over the top by
:12:33. > :12:34.Holding. It is a great opportunity for him. Couldn't have done much
:12:35. > :12:46.more with it other than score. Welbeck trying to get away from
:12:47. > :12:52.Vincent Kompany and he has got a free kick, courtesy of the
:12:53. > :12:57.Manchester City captain. We talked about Welbeck's extra mobility,
:12:58. > :13:03.coming on for Giroud. It has won his team a free kick here. City have a
:13:04. > :13:06.numerical advantage unhealthily so, with four Arsenal players staying
:13:07. > :13:13.out of the box. I wonder if that is where the ball will go. Ozil does
:13:14. > :13:18.put it into the middle. Welbeck missed it... Sanchez has scored.
:13:19. > :13:28.Listen to the Arsenal roar around Wembley now. Manchester City caught
:13:29. > :13:33.by a set piece, finished by Sanchez after Welbeck had passed up the
:13:34. > :13:38.earlier chance. It seems every time the ball goes into the box at both
:13:39. > :13:42.ends, defences are failing to deal with it. It is a mis-hit from
:13:43. > :13:48.Welbeck, it lands with Sanchez and he is just too quick for Kompany. It
:13:49. > :13:53.is through his legs. No chance but the goalkeeper.
:13:54. > :13:59.-- for the goalkeeper. A smile creeps across the face of Arsene
:14:00. > :14:04.Wenger. Much more than a smile in those seats. Arsenal have turned
:14:05. > :14:07.this around. Manchester City have four more minutes of this half of
:14:08. > :14:14.extra time and then another 15 to get back on track.
:14:15. > :14:23.Ozil has saved his energy for the last moments of the game. Ramsey
:14:24. > :14:28.once it just outside the box. Bravo stays back and Welbeck misses the
:14:29. > :14:31.target. That could have seen Arsenal in the final Foreshore. Monreal is
:14:32. > :14:36.going mad behind him because he feels he is favourite for this one.
:14:37. > :14:41.When you are in this situation as a player, when you are behind, you
:14:42. > :14:45.have to -- start to wonder, does something special have to come from
:14:46. > :14:52.someone in the team? When you are winning it, every moment is painful,
:14:53. > :14:58.trying to get through this period. Iheanacho has found De Bruyne and it
:14:59. > :15:02.is three on two. De Bruyne finds Delph and delve has missed! It is
:15:03. > :15:08.blocked, in fact. Quite a few City fans thought he had scored. It is a
:15:09. > :15:11.fantastic break, lots of pace, the ball arrives with Delph and we are
:15:12. > :15:22.waiting for it to hit the back of the net and Monreal gets the block.
:15:23. > :15:25.Yaya Toure. Nobody going down the left for him. De Bruyne has found
:15:26. > :15:43.some space. De Bruyne. There's no touch from the
:15:44. > :15:47.keeper. It's a goal kick. It's a piece of brilliant skill, isn't it?
:15:48. > :15:52.De Bruyne takes it early, but sit across the box. There's too much on
:15:53. > :16:00.it for any Sidibe treble get in there. If they book their place in
:16:01. > :16:03.the top final, Arsene Wenger's competition, if they can beat
:16:04. > :16:11.Chelsea, if they hold on here first, they will have won the FA Cup seven
:16:12. > :16:19.times, and outright record. It's Claudio Bravo up towards Delph, the
:16:20. > :16:24.ball is won. Kompany is up at centre forward now. I don't think you've
:16:25. > :16:30.got time to do anything. City are out of time, Arsenal are into the FA
:16:31. > :16:35.Cup final. There will be no trophy for Pep Guardiola in his first
:16:36. > :16:39.English campaign. There might well be another year for Arsene Wenger.
:16:40. > :16:45.He's got the chance to win the FA Cup for an outright record seventh
:16:46. > :16:49.time, and Martin Keown, his players, for him, have answered some
:16:50. > :16:53.questions all right. Well, this has to be his greatest ever semifinal
:16:54. > :16:57.victory, Arsene Wenger. The pressure he was under coming into this game,
:16:58. > :17:01.his team have really responded to him. It's a new system and I feel in
:17:02. > :17:08.the end of the team that deserves to win has won this. It's going to be
:17:09. > :17:12.an all London FA Cup final and the blue, between Arsenal and Chelsea.
:17:13. > :17:17.They've won it at Wembley, thanks to their man most likely, Alexis
:17:18. > :17:22.Sanchez. Arsenal two, Manchester City one. The week produced a great
:17:23. > :17:26.performance, not only technically but mentally as well -- I felt we
:17:27. > :17:32.produced. We became stronger through the game. We deserved to win the
:17:33. > :17:37.game. Can you describe emotions right now? Congratulations to Arsene
:17:38. > :17:41.to play the final, we'll come back strong. When you look at the
:17:42. > :17:44.performance and the result today, what's the biggest disappointment
:17:45. > :17:49.and frustration for you right now? That we're not in the final. We
:17:50. > :18:01.tried to do it and we created more chances again. So I don't have
:18:02. > :18:05.regrets, we tried and did what we wanted to do and that's all. Am
:18:06. > :18:09.delighted. We set out today to get back to a final. Our league form
:18:10. > :18:12.hasn't been good enough and there's disappointment with how that's gone
:18:13. > :18:15.and this is something we can hold on for the fans. It was important we
:18:16. > :18:20.got to the final and give ourselves every opportunity to go and win. I'm
:18:21. > :18:23.delighted for all the boys, the fans and the club. When your players are
:18:24. > :18:28.completely focused you turn up for them and to date, they've shown they
:18:29. > :18:34.accept the results, Win, lose or draw, but what you want on an
:18:35. > :18:38.occasion like that, is a great performance. We were given another
:18:39. > :18:43.example of Alexis Sanchez and his determination, the fact he never
:18:44. > :18:47.gives up. How vital is he within this squad? How confident are you
:18:48. > :18:52.that he may still be here next season? Well, I cannot answer that
:18:53. > :18:59.question at the moment, but he's an animal, he's always ready to kill
:19:00. > :19:03.the opponent and in games like that, you know, we never give up. He will
:19:04. > :19:07.still be next year here -- he will still be here next year because he
:19:08. > :19:11.has a contract until 2018 and hopefully we will manage to extend
:19:12. > :19:15.him. When you look at this season, should you finish in the top four
:19:16. > :19:20.and having been to the semifinal of an FA Cup, how would you assess that
:19:21. > :19:24.in your first season in charge? The analysis of what we have done, you
:19:25. > :19:28.are the journalist and you have to say how was your opinion, of course
:19:29. > :19:32.the results show who you are and the results could be better, could be
:19:33. > :19:38.worse, but at least we try to do fully our best to win. People
:19:39. > :19:44.questioned is a lot recently and we went through some tough times, but
:19:45. > :19:51.in difficult times you can be divided, it's natural inclination,
:19:52. > :19:56.or you can be united and I think today we have shown the right
:19:57. > :19:56.response, that we are capable to be together.
:19:57. > :19:58.today we have shown the right response, that we are capable to be
:19:59. > :20:01.together. The fans have all gone, it's just the lawn mowers behind us
:20:02. > :20:07.here at Wembley, but I've managed to encourage Jermaine Jenas and Martin
:20:08. > :20:12.Keown to stick around longer. It turned into a pretty decent game,
:20:13. > :20:16.that semifinal, didn't it? It really did. The first half of the game was
:20:17. > :20:21.pretty slow and Arsenal really wanted to maintain their defensive
:20:22. > :20:24.unit. Didn't really come out, but didn't give up any chances in
:20:25. > :20:27.fairness to them. It made it a tough watching the initial stages, but
:20:28. > :20:33.boy, did it opened up in the second half and obviously in extra time.
:20:34. > :20:35.Martin, we start with the first goal, the Aguero goal. From a
:20:36. > :20:39.defensive point of view you might have an opinion on what happened
:20:40. > :20:44.with that one? It was probably the only thing Monreal did wrong in the
:20:45. > :20:48.match and the ball that was played over from Yaya Toure and Aguero, you
:20:49. > :20:51.just don't catch when he through goal like that. Maybe Petr Cech
:20:52. > :20:54.comes out a bit late and makes it easy for him, he lifts over the
:20:55. > :20:58.goalkeeper and it was an outstanding finish and he has been part of the
:20:59. > :21:01.huge success that Man City have had in recent years. It was looking like
:21:02. > :21:06.maybe that was going to be at for Arsenal. They made up for it,
:21:07. > :21:14.Monreal, it was a fantastic ball to him and he was all on his own at the
:21:15. > :21:15.back post. He was and I saw along with the back three I thought
:21:16. > :21:18.Oxlade-Chamberlain and Monreal were outstanding for Arsenal and it was
:21:19. > :21:21.created by Oxlade-Chamberlain on the right-hand side. He was one of the
:21:22. > :21:25.players who look like he wasn't prepared to accept Arsenal losing
:21:26. > :21:28.today. I quite like that about its performance. Once he took it on the
:21:29. > :21:31.right-hand side and whipped the ball in, I was very surprised to see how
:21:32. > :21:36.well Monreal took it on the volley, on his weaker foot. But what a
:21:37. > :21:40.finish. The final goal perhaps wasn't as spectacular, but it was
:21:41. > :21:44.the most important one really, the one that won it for Arsenal, the
:21:45. > :21:50.Alexis Sanchez one in the box. I'm sure Martigny will be delighted, but
:21:51. > :21:56.is it what Arsenal deserved today? They rode their luck, but really
:21:57. > :22:00.Sanchez reacted much quicker than anyone else. It was ironic he should
:22:01. > :22:04.score the goal. Lots of talk about if you will find a new contracts.
:22:05. > :22:08.Kompany couldn't quite get there, it was a mis-hit from well Baku I
:22:09. > :22:12.thought made a major difference to the Arsenal performance but
:22:13. > :22:15.Oxlade-Chamberlain, he came of age and finally Arsene Wenger, after all
:22:16. > :22:18.these years, has found a position for that player because he was up
:22:19. > :22:28.and down the right-hand side and Monreal as well, the other side,
:22:29. > :22:30.he's the sort of man of the team and Jermaine talks about this, they
:22:31. > :22:33.showed character today, Arsenal, there was spirit in the group. I'd
:22:34. > :22:37.rather they win than finish fourth, if it creates proper players for the
:22:38. > :22:40.future instead of it kind of breeds a bit of mediocrity if you are going
:22:41. > :22:44.to finish fourth every season. They've played like winners today.
:22:45. > :22:49.They were asked questions and they showed character against a very good
:22:50. > :22:52.Man City team. They were more physical, David Silva bore the brunt
:22:53. > :22:58.of it early on, a big blow for City. We were impressed by the physical
:22:59. > :23:03.nature of Arsenal today? What I was more impressed about, with Arsene
:23:04. > :23:05.Wenger and Arsenal, was for once they looked at it and didn't have
:23:06. > :23:09.that arrogance about themselves which was we are Arsenal and we will
:23:10. > :23:15.play exactly how we want to play, which is usually the 4-2- 3-1
:23:16. > :23:17.formation. They changed the way they played and frustrated Manchester
:23:18. > :23:23.City. If you put that alongside the fact they were very physical with
:23:24. > :23:26.the likes of Aguero and David Silva, it made it tough for Manchester City
:23:27. > :23:29.in the early stages of that game. They were just tough to beat today,
:23:30. > :23:35.Arsenal. The performances they put in, it was more grit and
:23:36. > :23:40.determination in the early stages, which sets it up for when the likes
:23:41. > :23:44.of Welbeck came on to open it up and I thought they were the better side.
:23:45. > :23:47.Everything went well for Arsenal today. You think about the goal that
:23:48. > :23:55.was disallowed, it was very fortunate there. And the woodwork of
:23:56. > :23:59.course. Silva going off injured, the tackle, and there was another one
:24:00. > :24:05.later on on Aguero. It was getting quite tetchy. It was interesting
:24:06. > :24:08.today, because you saw the Man City players around the referee, that
:24:09. > :24:11.might have been Arsenal a few years ago but today, they roll their
:24:12. > :24:14.sleeves up and showed character and that was one of the most pleasing
:24:15. > :24:19.thing as an Arsenal supporter watching the game today. I'm sure
:24:20. > :24:22.from Man City's point of view they might feel aggrieved. They obviously
:24:23. > :24:26.had the woodwork twice, there was the goal that was disallowed. A big
:24:27. > :24:30.question as to whether it was in or not? The ball was not out of play. I
:24:31. > :24:38.think the referee linesman got it wrong. He was getting. The linesman
:24:39. > :24:41.was in a good position so I thought he had to be right and we have to
:24:42. > :24:43.favour the goal-scorers whenever there is any doubt. They can count
:24:44. > :24:47.themselves unlucky, City. Sometimes it's in the hands of the gods, who
:24:48. > :24:51.will win the FA Cup. We go to the final now, we'll Arsenal win it?
:24:52. > :24:55.Cheers -- Chelsea were magnificent yesterday. Arsenal have shown they
:24:56. > :25:02.will be happy to come back again because it was a good place today.
:25:03. > :25:06.If Manchester City had gone ahead, with the disallowed goal? I'm not
:25:07. > :25:10.sure, they were a goal down and they were able to respond, Arsenal. City,
:25:11. > :25:14.where it would have given and confidences they were on top and had
:25:15. > :25:18.Arsenal pending. It was tough for the linesman to call. The ball was
:25:19. > :25:22.in the air. My initial thought was if it's gone past Petr Cech it must
:25:23. > :25:27.have gone out because he is massive and he's got a huge reach, so I
:25:28. > :25:30.don't know how he's not got his figure tips to it. But having looked
:25:31. > :25:33.at the replays it looks like it's gone right along the crossbar. Could
:25:34. > :25:34.have had a bearing but in terms of Arsenal they got themselves back
:25:35. > :25:34.into have had a bearing but in terms of
:25:35. > :25:37.Arsenal they got themselves back into it and won the game. They go
:25:38. > :25:39.through to the final but there's plenty more football to come on the
:25:40. > :25:45.BBC. and highlights of Manchester City
:25:46. > :25:49.Women's Champions League semi-final feature on the Women's Football Show
:25:50. > :25:51.straight after us. On Wednesday, 5Live will bring
:25:52. > :25:52.you commentary And if you've missed any
:25:53. > :25:58.of the goals from the cup, the FA Cup catch-up is available
:25:59. > :26:11.on the BBC Sport website and iPlayer Arsenal will be back you Ron Meh the
:26:12. > :26:16.27th but it won't be a north London derby for you but it will be an
:26:17. > :26:21.exciting week to look forward to -- there will be back here on the 27th.
:26:22. > :26:26.It was always going to be an exciting final, that was the beauty
:26:27. > :26:30.of the semifinals we had. Chelsea, the way they set up, their
:26:31. > :26:34.experience of being in this situation will make it a really
:26:35. > :26:37.tough game for Arsenal but I have to say they massively impressed me in
:26:38. > :26:41.the game against Manchester City today. They've shown me they can
:26:42. > :26:45.play a different way so it sets up to be a brilliant final. You
:26:46. > :26:48.mentioned experience of Chelsea but the manager, less experience of
:26:49. > :26:55.winning trophies compared to Arsene Wenger, who is going for a record
:26:56. > :26:58.seventh FA Cup. Does that come into play for a final? It's phenomenal,
:26:59. > :27:01.the record Arsene Wenger has got. He's showed today he's not going to
:27:02. > :27:05.give this away lightly. Chelsea go into the game is massive favourites,
:27:06. > :27:08.when you can put Costa and Hazard one in the closing stages of the
:27:09. > :27:11.match it shows the strength and depth that Chelsea have. I'm not
:27:12. > :27:17.sure Arsenal can match that. They are in a new system. It's Bogut the
:27:18. > :27:20.moment, this three at the back, so it's great for us tacticians to
:27:21. > :27:23.discuss who's going to come out on top -- it's fashionable at the
:27:24. > :27:26.moment. Sometimes your name is on it but it will be a cracking game and
:27:27. > :27:30.Arsenal will be in better shape and more confident than they started
:27:31. > :27:35.today's game, they finished really well but they came into this really,
:27:36. > :27:38.it was a shock performance, their best of the season, so they need
:27:39. > :27:43.something similar to that in the final. Neither team will let up in
:27:44. > :27:46.terms of league business, it will be an interesting build-up to the final
:27:47. > :27:50.and certainly an interesting competition on the pitch. I think
:27:51. > :27:54.the league form leading up to the FA Cup final will be important, because
:27:55. > :27:58.as Martin says, Arsenal changing their formation they need to get
:27:59. > :28:01.used to playing it and playing it well and Charles -- Chelsea will
:28:02. > :28:03.want to go into the final knowing they've probably won the league as
:28:04. > :28:10.well. It's all about confidence going into the final. Yesterday was
:28:11. > :28:13.a massive psychological advantage. Chelsea could come as champions,
:28:14. > :28:16.looking to win the double and it's a huge incentive for their players.
:28:17. > :28:22.It's difficult to back against Chelsea really. It's been a
:28:23. > :28:26.fantastic weekend. Both semifinals have been brilliant.
:28:27. > :28:32.We leave you with the best of the weekend.
:28:33. > :28:41.COMMENTATOR: It's been a special season, now it's
:28:42. > :28:46.the big boys. Matic wins with a hammer of a drive. Chelsea are into
:28:47. > :28:51.the FA Cup semifinal. Monreal is back. Sanchez hasn't missed it, he's
:28:52. > :28:53.scored. Arsenal are into the FA Cup final.
