Chelsea Meets Liverpool Again At Wembley Stadium, Mason Mount: It's Time For Us
JAKARTA - Chelsea qualified for the FA Cup final after a 2-0 win over Crystal Palace, Sunday 17 April. The Blues will face Liverpool in the final which will take place at Wembley Stadium.
This is Chelsea's third consecutive FA Cup final. In the previous two editions, the London club lost to Leicester City and Arsenal.
However, Chelsea has recorded four successive failures in the final which took place at Wembley Stadium. Besides losing to Leicester and Arsenal in the FA Cup, the Blues also lost against Liverpool and Manchester City in the League Cup final.
Chelsea midfielder Mason Mount has ambitions to end a bad run of results at Wembley Stadium. According to him, it's time for Chelsea to become champions.
"It's time for us to win the final at Wembley. For myself it's been five finals at Wembley, five finals I've lost," Mount said, as quoted by Antara from Reuters.
"Now we have to put pressure on ourselves to keep going. It's time to get our reward," he continued.

Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel, who has tasted three defeats in three domestic finals since taking charge of Stamford Bridge last season, is delighted his side has bounced back after losing 4-5 on aggregate to Real Madrid in the Champions League.
