Mauricio Pochettino guided Chelsea to a 6-2 aggregate victory over Middlesbrough in the Carabao Cup semi-final.

The Blues were at risk of crashing out, after losing the first leg at the Riverside Stadium 1-0.

The Carabao Cup is an important one for Mauricio Pochettino. The Argentine failed to win silverware in charge of Southampton or Tottenham.

Pochettino has often been taunted for being trophyless in England, and he’s now desperate for his first trophy on England soil.

Although he won three trophies with PSG, his reputation will only be enhanced if he achieves success at Chelsea.

After the win against Boro, Pochettino said; “I am desperate to win a title here.

“We won, in one year and a half in Paris, three trophies. We want to win here, of course.”

Pochettino reached the 2015 Carabao Cup final during his first season in charge of Spurs but his side lost 2-0 to Chelsea, while they also lost the 2019 Champions League final to Liverpool.

The Blues will play either Liverpool or Fulham at Wembley on February 25.
