Thomas Tuchel understands Chelsea’s Carabao Cup final against Liverpool may come with a “little bit of a bad conscience” amid Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
A crowd of around 90,000 is expected at Wembley tomorrow and millions more will be watching across the UK and the rest of the world as the Blues attempt to win their third trophy of the campaign.
For many supporters, the match will be a two-hour escape from the devastating reality that war is being waged in Europe once more. Yet Tuchel acknowledges he will find it difficult to mentally detach himself from the situation in Ukraine no matter the importance of the game to Chelsea.
