Chelsea midfielder Eden Hazard admits he and his team-mates were 'frightened' of Manchester City during their FA Cup semi-final defeat on Sunday.
The Blues fell 2-0 behind to the reigning Premier League champions at Wembley following Samir Nasri's first-half strike and a Sergio Aguero goal two minutes after the break.
Rafael Benitez's men threatened a comeback when Demba Ba scored in the second half but were unable to see it through.
"We showed them too much respect, and paid the price. Maybe we might have deserved a different fate, but we started the game badly.
Defender Ashley Cole was absent from the Wembley clash with a hamstring injury suffered during the quarter-final win over Manchester United and manager Benitez has confirmed he will be missing again when Chelsea travel to neighbours Fulham in the Premier League on Wednesday.
