Chelsea will aim to secure their first trophy of the season when they face Liverpool in the Carabao Cup final at Wembley on Sunday. However, the players’ incentive is not particularly impressive.
Entering the final as the underdogs, Chelsea’s chances of winning silverware this season appear slim, given their disappointing campaign under Mauricio Pochettino’s leadership.
Nonetheless, Chelsea can draw some confidence from their recent performance against Manchester City. They will seek to capitalize on this as they take on a Liverpool side grappling with injury issues.
If Chelsea manages to emerge victorious and bring the Carabao Cup back to Stamford Bridge, the players will only receive a bonus of £500,000. In contrast, Manchester United’s players received a more substantial £1.6 million bonus when they won the Carabao Cup final last year, equating to roughly £65,000 per player.
The distribution of Chelsea’s bonus will be based on the number of minutes each player has participated in. However, this will become irrelevant once they secure a medal at Wembley on Sunday.
