Chelsea, nicknamed the "Blues," will travel to Wembley Stadium for the 2025/26 FA Cup final against Manchester City. Wesley Fofana stated that despite various challenges, the team will strive for European qualification and be ready to compete for the title.
In an earlier Premier League match, Chelsea, trailing behind, managed to draw 1-1 with Liverpool at Anfield after Enzo scored a free kick.
After ending their losing streak, Chelsea are currently 9th in the standings with 49 points, 4 points behind the European competition zone, making the competition very fierce.
Chelsea defender Wesley Fofana said in an interview, "It's a good result. We tried to score the second goal and created a lot of chances. I think we should have gotten a better result than a draw, but it's still positive to achieve this result against a strong team away from home."
"So we can be proud of this, but we must keep moving forward because we have an important FA Cup final next week, and we will do everything we can to win it."
In their head-to-head record, Chelsea have only managed one draw and four losses in their last five encounters with Manchester City, giving them a psychological advantage. Therefore, Chelsea will only have a better chance of winning the title if they can overcome their recent winless streak.
In Manchester, Guardiola's team secured a 3-0 victory over Brentford in the last round of the Premier League, successfully preparing for their FA Cup challenge.
Wesley Fofana also said, "Of course, this hasn't been the best time, but we've been fighting and sticking together. There are still a few games to go, including a final, and we have to fight for European qualification because Chelsea is a big club."
"Next week is the final, and we must give it our all. We will work hard to prepare and strive to win the championship."
