Liverpool have found their opponent in the FA Cup final: the “cormorants” will meet Chelsea.
Tuchel’s side beat Crystal Palace 2-0 without a hitch so they have a chance to get their revenge against Liverpool, having lost to their English League Cup rivals.
Unlike ChelseaLiverpool are in contention for every trophy: in the Champions League semi-finals, Klopp’s side hope to finish first in the Premier League, just one point behind Manchester City.
Liverpool – Chelsea, FA Cup Final
At Wembley, in the 26th FA Cup semi-final in history, Chelsea beat Crystal Palace 2-0 after second-half goals from Loftus-Cheek and Mount.
Loftus-Cheek hadn’t scored for Chelsea since May 2019, when he netted in a duel with Frankfurt.
Thus, Chelsea ticks the third FA Cup final in a row, in a terribly complicated season, after the setbacks of Roman Abramovici.
In the final act, the Londoners will meet Liverpool, who beat Manchester City 3-2 in the first semi-final. The “Cormorants” have not played in the FA Cup final since 2012.
For the first time in FA Cup history, German coaches will sit on the bench for both teams: Jurgen Klopp and Thomas Tuchel, respectively.
Klopp 🤝 Tuchel
For the first time in the competition’s history, the FA Cup final will be contested by two German managers. 🇩🇪
