In the final of the English League Cup, the two successful German coaches Thomas Tuchel and Jürgen Klopp meet. Chelsea managed to win in the second semi-final against Crystal Palace.
After the dramatic end in the Champions League, Chelsea FC with team manager Thomas Tuchel got the chance for a consolation prize. The Blues beat Crystal Palace 2-0 (0-0) in the semi-finals of the English FA Cup five days after being knocked out in extra time by Spain’s record-breaking champions Real Madrid.
Ruben Loftus-Cheek (65′) and Mason Mount (76′) scored the goals for Chelsea, who started with internationals Antonio Rüdiger, Timo Werner and Kai Havertz. Havertz did the preliminary work for the first goal, Werner for the second.
On May 14, Tuchel has the chance to win his fourth title with Chelsea at the legendary Wembley Stadium. The opponent is Liverpool FC with coach Jürgen Klopp, who defeated Manchester City 3-2 on Saturday. After the triumph in the European premier class last season, Tuchel also won the World Club Championship and the Supercup.
