Boehly, who serves as chairman of Chelsea, has taken a step back from active involvement this season, following an initially hands-on approach. Whereas, Eghbali has maintained a more visible presence and has remained heavily involved in the club's football operations.
DID YOU KNOW?
The Carabao Cup final presents an opportunity for Boehly and Eghbali to witness Chelsea potentially clinch their first trophy under their ownership. A victory against Liverpool would not only secure Chelsea's qualification to next season's Europa Conference League but also break the club's Wembley curse, which has seen them lose in their last six visits to the stadium.

Winning the Carabao Cup would alleviate some of the pressure on Boehly and Eghbali, who have faced criticism for their lack of patience over managerial appointments. Mauricio Pochettino, Chelsea's current head coach, marks the fourth managerial appointment since they took over from former owner Roman Abramovich. Nonetheless, Boehly and Eghbali's attendance at the Carabao Cup final underscores their continued commitment to Chelsea's success and their desire to witness the club's resurgence to greater glory.
