Sports·4/25/2026AI summary Leeds United's Wembley Redemption: From Playoff Heartbreak to FA Cup Semi-Final Glory
Leeds United face Chelsea in an FA Cup semi-final at Wembley on Sunday, their first since 1987. The match represents a remarkable turnaround for Leeds, who suffered heartbreak at the same venue in 2024 when they lost the Championship playoff final to Southampton. Rather than sacking manager Daniel Farke, the club backed him and he delivered the Championship title with 100 points. Leeds now have 40 Premier League points and are practically safe, with victory over Chelsea potentially returning them to Europe for the first time since the early 2000s.
