Boehly rewards! as Chelsea players to get this massive bonus if they beat Liverpool in FA Cup final
Chelsea will play Liverpool in the FA Cup final on Saturday, and they have a chance to add to their trophy cabinet this season.
However, Chelsea travels to Wembley for their second FA Cup final of the season, and their third in a row after losing to Leicester City last year and Arsenal the year before.
Chelsea players will be able to add money to their bank accounts if they can beat Liverpool to the title.
According to a report by the Daily Mail, the Chelsea players will split £1million if end up as FA Cup champions.
The cash will then be shared on a pro-rata basis among the squad, with the amount each player receives linked to their involvement in matches.
Meanwhile, Chelsea legend Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink believes Liverpool have lost some steam, and this could be the best time to play them, only if Chelsea can put up the performance they displayed in the Carabao Cup final.
He told Prime Slots: “Fourth time lucky isn’t it (laughs)? They are playing against one of the best teams in the world – some people think Liverpool are the best team in the world – of course it is possible for them to win, but they will need to produce their best.
“If you look at the League Cup final, it was a magnificent game that Chelsea should have won in normal time – they created some great chances. They were unlucky but they lost.
“If they can play like they did in that final, then I’m very confident that they will win the match.
“I also think that this is a good moment to play Liverpool. If you look at how Tottenham played against them [in last weekend’s 1-1 draw] – I think it could be a really good time to play the final for Chelsea.”
