After harsh criticism for having lost in the first leg, the team led by Mauricio Pochettino was under the total obligation to reverse history, as they were eliminated by a team from the Championship.
Moisés Caicedo was stellar, having a role in providing more balance to his team, partnering better with Enzo Fernández in the middle of the field. The tricolor didn’t have much of the ball, but he participated a lot to give more space to his teammates, who also didn’t suffer from the lack of pressure from Middlesborugh.
The midfielder played until 72 minutes of the game, contributing with 28 of 30 (93%) passes, winning his two aerial duels and 3 of 8 on the field; he also had two successful dribbles and two sweeps.
With goals from Jonny Howson (GEC), Enzo Fernández, Cole Palmer (2), Axel Disasi and Van den Berg (GEC), the London team came back in the series and with a 6-2 scoreline, they reached the grand final of the Carabao Cup. Their rival will come out of the duel between Liverpool and Fulham, where the Anfield team has the advantage.
Moisés Caicedo will play his first final in England and will seek his first title with Chelsea. It is worth mentioning that until before this achievement, the furthest he went on English soil was the FA Cup semi-final with Brighton last season.
