Thiago Silva sends defiant message to Liverpool ahead of Carabao Cup final against Chelsea

Thiago Silva has insisted 'it's time' he finally wins at Wembley as Liverpool booked their spot to face Chelsea in the Carabao Cup final.

A 1-1 draw in the semi-final second leg was enough to earn the Reds a 3-2 aggregate victory against Fulham. Luis Diaz notched the all-important goal for Jurgen Klopp's side.

And the showpiece at the national stadium will be a repeat of the 2022 final after Chelsea stormed passed Middlesbrough 6-2. Liverpool were triumphant two years ago on penalties after a 0-0 draw. The Reds also beat Chelsea at Wembley in the FA Cup final on spot-kicks in the same season.

Silva is into his fifth season at Chelsea and has lost three domestic finals - two at the hands of Liverpool. The veteran defender is determined to finally be triumphant at the national stadium.

Silva said after the west London outfit's 5-1 second-leg win over Middlesbrough: “Now we have another final at Wembley. If I’m not mistaken, the three times I went there, I lost all three. So, I think it is time to win, right?”
