Thiago Silva wore his heart on his sleeve as Chelsea suffered a devastating blow in their FA Cup semi-final clash against Manchester City.

The Blues saw their only chance of winning a trophy this season taken away from them by Pep Guardiola’s Man City.

Despite having opportunities to seal the deal, the Blues were thwarted by a late goal from Bernardo Silva, leaving the Brazilian defender visibly distraught at the final whistle.

After the match, Silva was spotted crouched down on the Wembley turf, tears streaming down his face in the wake of the crushing defeat, as reported by the Sun.

City's Jeremy Doku extended a comforting hand to the legendary defender, but the weight of disappointment was too heavy for the former PSG star to bear.

The champions secured their spot in the final moments of the match, with Bernardo Silva capitalizing on a well-crafted play involving Jeremy Doku and Kevin De Bruyne in the 84th minute.

Despite a valiant effort, Mauricio Pochettino's side will rue the missed chances that could have altered the outcome of the game.

Nicolas Jackson was particularly wasteful in front of goal, leaving the Blues heartbroken as they fell short of their FA Cup aspirations.

Man City will play in the FA Cup final, after an edgy win over the London club and could face either Manchester United or Coventry City.
