Chelsea manager Xabi Alonso described the Carabao Cup as the "least important competition" following his team's elimination by Liverpool on Wednesday night.
The Blues were knocked out of the tournament at Anfield, prompting Alonso to downplay the significance of the domestic cup in his post-match remarks.
The match took place on October 28, 2026, with Liverpool advancing to the next round. Alonso's comments came during a press conference after the game, where he emphasized his focus on other priorities for the season.
The defeat marks an early exit for Chelsea in the Carabao Cup, a competition they have won multiple times in the past.
