Chelsea finally made it to the semifinals after winning the match against Newcastle united. Playing at home was not an advantage for Chelsea because they conceded early to Wilson but Mudryk was able to revive Chelsea hopes after managing to equalize in the final minutes of the match. I think winning on penalties was lucky for them because playing in normal time they were able to put a lot of pressure on Newcastle united but couldn't score a goal to win in normal half time.
Chelsea got lucky to equalize towards the end of the match, it was a mistake from Trippier but mistakes are part of the game. Newcastle defended well and Chelsea dominated the game throughout the second half but didn’t find it easy to penetrate them. The mistake happened and Mudryk got the goal and Petrovic made some wonderful penalty saves that secured Chelsea a spot in the semi final.
Both of Chelsea and Newcastle are lucky, Newcastle can score a goal because of Badiashile's mistake, while Chelsea can score a goal because of Trippier's mistake. But Chelsea is luckier than Newcastle, so they able to beat Newcastle.
They both scored from mistakes but chelsea was more dominant and more in control even though they found it difficult to penetrate Newcastles defense. Malo Gusto coming on gave more attacking power as he is a natural full back unlike Disasi that didn’t contribute more to the attack. Gusto made some decent crosses which one eventually led to a mistake and a goal
We will see Liverpool vs West Ham in the next match, this should be Liverpool's game.
Will be interesting match and very difficult to predict, both teams are good attacking team and it’s not easy to conclude if Liverpool will win, i can’t say anything until the end of the game. All i can say is it will interesting and difficult to predict.
Kudus, Paqueta, Bowen are all threat and Liverpool’s defense is not too strong to hold them.
Assuming Liverpool will win, then the qualified teams are Middlesbrough, Fulham, Chelsea and Liverpool. My prediction, it's either Chelsea or Liverpool will get the trophy.
Fulham cannot be underestimated, they are good enough to challenge as well but Chelsea and Liverpool are the favorites to win or make it to the final if they are not playing against each other in the semifinal.
