In a post-match interview, manager Antonio Conte expressed his disappointment at Chelsea's 1-2 defeat to Manchester United in the highly anticipated match of the 28th round of the Premier League.

In their trip to Old Trafford last night, Chelsea started well and took the lead in the 33rd minute through midfielder Willian. However, "The Blues" disappointed by losing 1-2. Romelu Lukaku (39') and Jesse Lingard (75') scored the two goals for MU.

This marks Chelsea's third defeat in their last four matches across all competitions. This loss sees them drop to fifth place in the Premier League table with 53 points after 28 games, two points behind Tottenham. Meanwhile, Manchester United reclaimed second place from Liverpool with 59 points.

In a post-match interview, coach Conte expressed his regret and disappointment at Chelsea's defeat to Manchester United: "We are very disappointed with the final result of the match. Chelsea had a great opportunity to win 3 points against a direct competitor in the Top 4, but in the end, my players had to accept defeat."

When you have the advantage of a lead, you have to control the game well. Hopefully, after this defeat, my players will learn from their mistakes and become more mature to avoid similar defeats. I feel very disappointed about this.”

With Man City currently 19 points ahead in the Premier League table (Chelsea have played one more game), manager Conte's team have virtually no chance of defending their title. Therefore, they are forced to focus their efforts on the FA Cup and the Champions League. In the Premier League, the most realistic goal they can aim for is to finish in the top four.
