Liverpool and Chelsea dispute this Sunday the first title of the season in England: the League Cup, or Carabao Cup, is at stake at Wembley Stadium.
In Liverpool, the Colombian Luis Fernando Díaz would start, who has gained the confidence of coach Jürgen Klopp to play this crucial match.
Here are some details of the English League Cup, which hopes to crown a Colombian at Wembley this Sunday.
– How much does the Carabao Cup champion earn? The team that is crowned this Sunday will win £100,000, about 120 euros. The figure is laughable considering the millions earned by the champions of the Premier League or FA Cup.
However, there are extra profits that the EFL distributes to all the participating clubs, which are 92 teams. In total, for the previous rounds, the champion will walk away with a sum close to £1 million.
– What international tournament does the Carabao Cup 2022 qualify for? The champion will go to the Europa League preliminary phase. However, if Liverpool and/or Chelsea qualify for the Champions League via the Premier League, the League Cup berth will go to the sixth-place finisher in the First Division League.
– Which team has won the EFL Cup the most times? Liverpool and Manchester City are tied with 8 coronations, so the ‘reds’ could be first in the list of winners if they win it this Sunday. His last title was in 2012, ten years ago.
Chelsea appears in the second instance, with 5 titles and tied with Aston Villa and Manchester United. The ‘blues’ have not won it since 2015, and could become third in title history.
– How many Colombians have won the League Cup, or the EFL Cup, or the Carabao Cup? Only one: Juan Guillermo Cuadrado, with Chelsea in the 2014/2015 season.
