1. Hand Pochettino His First English Trophy:
Mauricio Pochettino, known for his dynamic attacking approach and fervent leadership, continues his pursuit for his first trophy in England. Thus, winning the Carabao Cup would mark a significant milestone for him.
While Chelsea’s overarching goals may encompass more than the Carabao Cup, today’s final offers an opportunity to overcome past setbacks, secure European football, affirm their project’s success, cultivate champions, and provide their new manager with a dream beginning.
Considering these factors, defeating Liverpool is not merely desirable but imperative for Chelsea.
2. Secure European Passage
Failing to qualify for the Champions League is a tough blow to endure.
However, winning today would provide a silver lining – a berth in the Europa Conference League.
This continental opportunity is crucial for squad growth and ensuring financial stability.
3. Exorcise the Ghost of Finals Past
Since 2017, Chelsea has suffered defeat in an astonishing five domestic cup finals.
Winning the Carabao Cup would not only secure the first silverware of the season but also shatter this distressing pattern, reinstating confidence in their capacity to triumph on significant occasions.
