Liverpool FC are the most supported favorites against Chelsea in this year’s FA Cup final, as Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola recently admitted. Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel had to admit that.
Allies: In the FA Cup final, Thomas Tuchel and his Chelsea FC meet Liverpool with Jürgen Klopp. Ahead of the game, Tuchel says he can understand Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola’s recent thesis that “everyone supports Liverpool” in the championship race. According to Tuchel, there is “great sympathy” for Liverpool. Klopp is also “a fantastic guy, a funny guy, one of the very best coaches in the world.”
Clear favourite: Guardiola complained of his displeasure after his team’s league victory against Newcastle United last weekend. The City manager claimed that both the media and all football fans would side with Liverpool in the title race. Klopp had announced that he saw things very differently.
Title at a glance: Tuchel assumes the role of the non-favourite. He doesn’t want “the sympathy of the country” but “to have the trophy.” Liverpool will have no other choice, after all they want to secure their second national trophy of the season after winning the League Cup with a win against the Londoners.
