Chelsea manager, Mauricio Pochettino has said he is “desperate” to win the Carabao Cup with the Blues this season.
He made this known while speaking after his team thrashed Middlesbrough 6-1 in their semi-final second leg of the cup competition onTuesday night at the Stamford Bridge.
Prior to this, Chelsea had lost the first leg 1-0 to Michael Carrick’s side, thus making the aggregate score 6-2.
The Blues after the victory, will now face Fulham or Liverpool in the final next month at the Wembley Stadium.
Pochettino, who was appointed as head coach of Chelsea last summer, failed to win a trophy over five-and-a-half years at Tottenham.

He, however, got to the finals of the 2015 Carabao Cup and 2019 Champions League but failed to lift both trophies.
The ex-Paris Saint-Germain boss is now eager to break his trophyless run in England.
“I am desperate to win a title here. There is your headline! We won three trophies in Paris in 18 months and we want to win here. I am desperate to win of course.
“Fulham or Liverpool are two amazing teams, so it will be difficult, but now is the moment to believe we can win. It’s an important step for us,” Pochettino said.
