Chelsea’s Ben Chilwell believes winning the Carabao Cup could be more significant than their 2021 Champions League victory. As he captains Mauricio Pochettino’s team against Liverpool in Sunday’s final, Chilwell sees this as a crucial moment for Chelsea, especially after recent setbacks against Liverpool in cup finals.
Chilwell emphasized the importance of this trophy for Chelsea’s young and new squad, suggesting that it could have a greater impact on the club’s direction than their Champions League win. He highlighted the desire for revenge against Liverpool, who defeated them in the Carabao and FA Cup finals in 2022. A win on Sunday would secure Chelsea a European spot, even if it’s in the Europa Conference League. Chilwell sees this as crucial for the team’s growth and experience, especially for young players who have not yet played in Europe.
Chilwell believes that winning the Carabao Cup could provide the team with the confidence, drive, and hunger to pursue more trophies. Victory at Wembley would not only secure European football but also be a significant milestone for Chelsea’s evolving squad.
