Chelsea took a 2-0 first-leg advantage and rode it into the final, as Antonio Conte’s side allowed an early second-leg goal and didn’t find one of their own.
As for Arsenal and Liverpool, well, their semifinal first leg was postponed due to positive COVID-19 tests results in the Liverpool camp (Jurgen Klopp revealed most of them turned out to be false positives after further tests) so they still have 180 minutes to go head-to-head for a place at Wembley.
All of this adds up to an intriguing finale as one of these four teams will lift the first domestic trophy of the season in February, and Manchester City’s dominance of this competition is over.
