No pre-match word with Mauricio Pochettino, but no matter, because here come the teams! They emerge to roars, Cole Palmer having caught up with all his old pals in the tunnel. The exchanges all very friendly. Both sides wear blue: City in sky, Chelsea in royal. We’ll be off in a minute!
The BBC ask Pep Guardiola whether his team are ready to bounce back from the disappointment of Champions League defeat. “The team are not disappointed … when a team plays well we are never disappointed … we don’t have to feel sorry or ashamed for the way [we] perform … it is football, it is life … we are in a semi-final against a historical team like Chelsea so of course you have to perform well … winning or losing against Madrid we would do the same … [Erling Haaland] is injured … it is not much but he is not able to play today.”
