Fans have been left baffled after Kevin De Bruyne was named the Man of the Match against Chelsea.
Pep Guardiola’s side booked their place in the FA Cup final for the second consecutive year with a 1-0 win over the Blues at Wembley.
Bernardo Silva struck from close range six minutes from time to ensure City’s hope of winning the double stayed intact.
Jermaine Jenas, who was on co-commentary for the BBC, named De Bruyne as his Man of the Match, praising his defensive contribution.
The former Newcastle and Tottenham midfielder said: ‘De Bruyne is my player of the match, but not for the usual reasons.
‘іt һаѕ Ьeen а ѕріcу gамe аnd һe һаѕ маde ѕo маnу tаckleѕ, Ьᴜt һe’ѕ аlѕo һаd tһаt Ьіt of qᴜаlіtу аѕ well.’

A third fan asked: ‘De Bruyne man of the match? Did Jenas watch the game?’
De Bruyne proved pivotal going forward as his cross into the box resulted in Silva’s winner.
