Todd Boehly doesn't show up at Chelsea games much anymore, but he's making a rare public appearance at Sunday's Carabao Cup final in London alongside co-owner Behdad Eghbali. This is a big deal because Boehly hasn't been seen much at games lately. The last time was during a win over Fulham when he was promoting a movie he helped with.
Boehly wasn't at the recent semi-final game against Middlesbrough, and usually, when both owners are at the stadium, they stick to their private boxes. While Eghbali has been more visible at games this season, Boehly hasn't been around much.
But they'll both be at Wembley for the final, hoping Chelsea can win their first trophy under their ownership. Despite rumors, sources close to the club say their relationship is fine.
Boehly is the chairman of Chelsea but has taken a step back this season, letting Eghbali take a more active role. Winning the final would not only be a relief for them but also qualify Chelsea for the Europa Conference League next season. It would also break Chelsea's losing streak at Wembley.
Their ownership has been criticized for firing managers frequently and spending a lot on transfers. Mauricio Pochettino is the fourth manager under their ownership.
The previous owner, Roman Abramovich, hasn't been to Wembley for Chelsea's last seven visits due to visa issues. He eventually had to sell the club to Boehly and Eghbali because of sanctions from the UK government.
