Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel insisted he does not pay any attention to Liverpool’s quadruple charge but said his team will try to make “life hard” for Jurgen Klopp’s men in next month’s FA Cup final.
For Chelsea, the FA Cup final will be their fourth final this season but also their last shot at domestic glory this season.
They have already won the UEFA Super Cup and the FIFA Club World Cup, but many would argue that winning just these two trophies should not be considered a success for this Chelsea side.
Similarly, Liverpool have already secured this season’s Carabao Cup winners’ medals, but will arguably have to win another silverware for their season to be considered a successful campaign.
Unlike Chelsea, however, Liverpool could end the season with a quadruple as they are still vying for Premier League and Champions League trophies.
Although, Tuchel made it clear that it is none of his business.
“I don’t care about their other titles,” Tuchel said after the FA Cup semifinal win over Crystal Palace (via Sky Sports).
“Of course, we lost a [Carabao Cup] final [to Liverpool]. We gave everything in that final, as you know, until the very last penalty. We were unlucky and lost.
“We want to turn things around, but it will not give us the Carabao Cup title back.
“We were in the FA Cup final last season and we’re here again, it means unbelievably a lot to us.
“We will be well-prepared against one of the strongest teams in the world who are on an outstanding form given their results.
“So, it will be a tough one. We will try to make life hard for them.”
