Champions Cup final 2022

The two sides met in the League Cup final earlier this year with Liverpool winning the match on penalties after a goalless draw.

Even in its 150th year, the FA Cup seemingly still has the power to enthral. The question is: How much? GO FURTHER "(Klopp) is the master of being the underdog. If Chelsea are to end one of the most challenging seasons in their history on a high by lifting the FA Cup at Wembley, the centre-back is going to have to play an integral role. GO FURTHER

‘Yeah, I think I of course want to be on the pitch, and recently with the limited times that I have had, I have been trying to make as big of an impact as I can. One of the cliches used around the cup is that it gives a chance for ‘unfashionable teams’ to capture the public imagination. In the mid-60s, Liverpool and Chelsea were the most fashionable sides in the game.” It has been a source of frustration, most of all to his father, who took to social media to complain about how his son is not used more. Follow live coverage of Chelsea vs Liverpool in the 2022 FA Cup final, below: For much of the past two decades there have been attempts to manufacture a rivalry between the clubs that goes beyond the natural levels of antagonism. A modern rivalry, steeped in FA Cup history. Chelsea will also be desperate to avoid becoming the first team in FA Cup history to lose three consecutive finals, after they were beaten by Leicester and Arsenal in 2021 and 2020 respectively. Chelsea cruised through their opening encounter, with Timo Werner, Callum Hudson-Odoi, Romelu Lukaku and Andreas Christensen all on target in the first half. It remains a possibility for Jurgen Klopp’s side, even if Manchester City are closing in on the Premier League title, but Chelsea and Thomas Tuchel will be out for revenge as they aim to win the competition for the ninth time. Kepa Arrizabalaga was the extra-time hero for Chelsea, saving Ryan Hardie’s spot-kick to sneak the Blues through without the need for a shoot-out.

Leinster are through to their sixth Champions Cup final after a dominant 40-17 victory over holders Toulouse at the Aviva Stadium.

Robbie Henshaw and Furlong made the initial headway before Sexton sent Lowe over with a delicate inside pass. A sustained period of possession led to a penalty under the posts and Byrne tapped over to extend the lead to 33-17 with five minutes left. Jimmy O'Brien, on his 50th appearance, and Lowe almost combined to get a fourth try but Toulouse managed to extricate themselves and earn field position, which led to replacement Selevasio Tolofua going over in the corner for a try that was converted by Ramos. Leinster didn’t manage to score with the Aussie in the bin but in the first play after his return they grabbed a third try. Gibson-Park was on the receiving end of some rough treatment at the back of the ruck and after being hit late earned a penalty that the captain slotted over. Van der Flier gave chase but the scrum-half was never going to be caught and Thomas Ramos's kick gave the French a 7-3 lead.

For the sixth time, and second season in a row, no English side has made the European Champions Cup semi-final – and there are a few reasons why…

Saracens accumulated a bunch of England internationals and strong recruits to win Europe in 2016, 2017 and 2019, but were found guilty of breaching the domestic salary cap. Almost as soon as the Champions Cup started (without the English initially) in 1995, the Irish discovered pouring resources into Leinster and Munster was a winning formula, adored by their fans.
