Fans were left baffled after Kevin De Bruyne was named Man of the Match against Chelsea.
Pep Guardiola’s side booked their place in the FA Cup final for the second year in a row with a 1-0 victory over the Blues at Wembley.
Bernardo Silva scored from close range six minutes from time to ensure City’s hope of winning the double remained intact.
BBC co-commentator Jermaine Jenas named De Bruyne his Man of the Match and praised his defensive contribution.
The former Newcastle and Tottenham midfielder said: “De Bruyne is my man of the match, but not for the usual reasons.”
